The University of New Hampshire received a $996,706 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), effective September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2029. The award funds a comprehensive research initiative examining how seabirds in the Gulf of Maine respond to environmental changes through integrated analysis of foraging behavior, diet, and movement patterns across four seabird species. The research team will quantify individual variation in foraging strategies, determine the relationships between foraging plasticity and reproductive success, and employ bioenergetics modeling to elucidate the mechanisms by which dietary and movement variations affect population resilience and reproductive outcomes. In addition to advancing fundamental ecological understanding of seabird-prey energetic linkages, the project delivers substantial workforce development and educational products. These include research training for a postdoctoral scholar, technician, and undergraduate students; summer internship opportunities; development of a new undergraduate course in seabird ecology and conservation; and creation of open-source educational resources including a textbook and coding tutorials. The research outcomes directly support management of fisheries resources and threatened and endangered seabirds by illuminating species and colony-specific vulnerabilities to changes in foraging conditions and food availability.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
