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 U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service's Adaptive Science program (CFDA 15.670) provides $314,285.72 to the University of Massachusetts to conduct research and conservation efforts on three endangered turtle species - Blanding's turtles, spotted turtles, and wood turtles - in Massachusetts. The primary objectives are to assess the populations and habitats of these at-risk turtle species within the Devens Reserve Forces Training Area...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded The Ocean Foundation $341,906 under the Broad Agency Announcement federal grant program (CFDA 11.015) to support genetic sampling and data compilation efforts for sea turtle nesting populations from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The key products and services to be delivered include collecting genetic samples from leatherback, green, and hawksbill sea turtle nesting sites to expand baseline nesting datasets defining...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has awarded a $320,000 Cooperative Agreement to Colorado State University under the CFDA Program 15.812 - Cooperative Research Units. The project, titled "Sea Turtle Demography," will run from February 23, 2024 to February 22, 2027. The key objectives of this project are to: (1) evaluate the effectiveness of various monitoring methods and survey designs for assessing sea turtle nest abundance, (2) refine demographic estimates for loggerhead sea turtles...
This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472), aims to investigate the impacts of environmental change on the sex ratios of sea turtles, a species with temperature-dependent sex determination. The project will apply novel epigenetic markers to quantify the primary sex ratios of Hawaiian green turtles (Chelonia mydas) using existing samples and nest temperature data. This $458,184 award,...
This $277,138 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472) will fund research to address sea turtle conservation goals in the Gulf of Maine. The key objectives are to conduct stable isotope analysis of tissues from cold-stunned sea turtles and understand the distribution of sea turtles within Massachusetts waters. This funding will extend existing projects related to assessing multi-species habitat...
This $713,392 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to characterize reproductive strategies in sea turtles. The primary awardee, the University of Florida, will use stable isotope analysis to identify the source of nutrients used by three sea turtle species to produce eggs, determining whether they rely on stored energy reserves (capital breeding) or current food intake (income breeding). The...
This Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), funded under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472), provides $194,093 to the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game Division of Marine Fisheries (MA DMF) for a collaborative effort to develop a predictive tool for identifying leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) distribution over the Northeast U.S. Shelf. The project aims to integrate data from multiple sources into an Integrated Species...
This Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Management Projects program (CFDA 11.454) provides $1,097,906 to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth to conduct a drop camera survey of sea scallops in the Nantucket Lightship and Northern Edge Habitat Area of Particular Concern. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) assess the spatial and temporal distribution of sea scallops, 2) estimate the absolute density and biomass of...
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...
