This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417), supports research to evaluate the impacts of changing ocean conditions driven by climate change and ocean acidification on the Atlantic sea scallop fishery. The $124,931 award to the University of Connecticut will integrate existing data and modeling tools, including annual stock assessment surveys, physiological lab data, oceanographic...
This $449,750 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research on the impacts of climate warming on the Atlantic bay scallop, a commercially and culturally important coastal species. The key research activities include: Analyzing 75 years of fisheries data and temperature records to assess how warming temperatures have contributed to the 90% decline of bay scallops across the U.S. Atlantic coast over recent decades....
This $497,723 Project Grant was awarded on February 1, 2025 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Fisheries Development and Utilization Research and Development Grants and Cooperative Agreements Program (CFDA 11.427). The overarching goal is to develop a viable business model for culturing Atlantic sea scallops offshore in the Gulf of Maine. Key objectives include determining optimal locations, densities, and gear types for bottom scallop culture; developing...
This Project Grant award of $796,133 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries Disaster Relief program (CFDA 11.477) will support a collaborative research project to optimize scallop restoration in the Peconic Estuary of New York. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will lead the project in partnership with Stony Brook University and Cornell Cooperative Extension. The research aims to develop genetically superior scallop stocks to...
This two-year, $599,984 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration project grant supports research at the University of Maine to develop probiotic systems for sea scallop hatcheries. The goal is to enhance reliability and reproducibility of larval production throughout the year. Researchers will identify appropriate probiotic bacteria for inclusion in feed or direct addition to hatchery tanks and assess effects on larval survival and probiotic persistence. A $199,984 subaward to the...
This $1,097,906 Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Management Projects (CFDA 11.454) program will fund a scallop survey project conducted by the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. The project aims to provide fishery managers, scientists, and fishing communities with a comprehensive assessment of sea scallop populations, including size-specific spatial and temporal distribution, absolute density and biomass estimates, and...
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
This $406,199 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) will fund a project to study lobster populations along the outer Cape Cod area. Scientists and fishermen will collaborate to collect detailed data on juvenile and adult lobsters, including their size, sex, presence of eggs, and water temperature. This data will be used to develop computer models that predict the timing and location of lobster...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support (CFDA 11.417) program provides $117,072 to the University of Maine System to conduct research focused on redefining biological reference points in a dynamic environment. The project aims to characterize current and alternative approaches to defining reference points in the context of ecosystem change, synthesize findings, challenges, and best practices, and assess the...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) provides $559,754 to the University of Maine System to conduct research on the growth and molt probability of American lobsters.
