- The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $127,017 Project Grant under the Broad Agency Announcement (CFDA 11.015) to The Ocean Foundation to collect sea turtle genetic samples. This will contribute to conservation and management planning efforts, and improve stock assessments and status reviews for sea turtle populations. The project will run from Sep 1, 2023 to Aug 31, 2024. Sea turtles are important components of healthy ocean and coral reef...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472) provides $277,138.00 to the Coonamessett Farm Foundation Inc. The funding will be used to extend existing projects related to sea turtle research goals, including stable isotope analysis of tissues from cold-stunned sea turtles and understanding the distribution of sea turtles within Massachusetts waters. This work supports a larger NOAA and National...
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $724,657 cooperative agreement to The Ocean Foundation under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472) from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023. The award will support research using acoustic and satellite tagging of Atlantic bluefin tuna to map stock-specific spatial-temporal movements at high resolution in the North Atlantic and assign stock-specific mortality estimates. This work will provide new insights into understanding the...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472) will fund research on the impacts of environmental change on the sex ratios of Hawaiian green turtles (Chelonia mydas). The $710,664 award to the University of Massachusetts will support the development and application of novel epigenetic markers to determine the primary sex ratios of these sea turtles, using existing samples collected with nest...
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded The Ocean Foundation $500,000 under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) for a project grant running from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2024. The Ocean Foundation will support NOAA's public-private partnership to build broad support in the U.S. for the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) among philanthropic groups, civil society organizations, and the general public. The...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472) aims to develop a next-generation stock assessment model for Atlantic bluefin tuna. The $169,356 award to The Ocean Foundation will also explore using this model as an operating model for future management strategy evaluation (MSE) frameworks. The project will run from January 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026. The Ocean Foundation, a nonprofit...
The Ocean Ecology Network Inc. was awarded a $402,000 project grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472) to coordinate, develop and implement sea turtle research and conservation initiatives in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023. As part of the NOAA Unallied Science Program, which provides grants for biological, socio-economic and physical science research on fishery and protected resources and their environments to support optimal resource management, the awardee will deliver products and services focused on coordinating and advancing sea turtle research efforts across multiple ocean basins and developing and implementing conservation measures for these protected species over the two year period of performance.
