The Gulf of Maine Research Institute received a $499,216 Project Grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Ocean Acidification Program (OAP, CFDA 11.017), awarded September 1, 2025, with completion scheduled for August 31, 2027. The project delivers a comprehensive resilience assessment for Maine's shellfisheries, with primary deliverables centered on understanding climate impacts, synthesizing existing environmental and socioeconomic data, and developing an integrated vulnerability and resilience assessment framework specific to Casco Bay. The initiative engages multiple stakeholders—including wild shellfish harvesters, aquaculture producers, hatchery operators, scientists, municipal shellfish committees, and decision-makers—to identify risks of greatest concern, information gaps, and adaptation strategies related to ocean acidification and other stressors affecting wild-harvest and aquacultured shellfish operations. The project's key outputs include: (1) documented findings on observed impacts and risks to Casco Bay shellfisheries; (2) a synthesized data evaluation addressing coastal and ocean acidification concerns; and (3) a readiness and gaps assessment framework for implementing integrated resilience strategies. By building on prior Northeast U.S. efforts and synthesizing biological, environmental, and socioeconomic datasets, the project generates actionable intelligence to support informed risk assessment and decision-making that strengthens the adaptive capacity and long-term resilience of shellfisheries operations in Maine, positioning the state as a regional leader in addressing ocean acidification challenges.Federal Grant Award Summary
