Projects

A Mechanism Based Intervention for Brevetoxin Indu...

The Florida manatee inhabits environments in which blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis, frequently occur. K. brevis produces brevetoxins, that result in fish kills, contamination of shellfish, and respiratory ...

A Multidisciplinary, Integrative Approach to Valui...

We are estimating the economic value from natural and nature-based infrastructure investments to stabilize coastline. Using hazard risks along the U.S. Pacific Northwest coast, we are assigning a dollar value ...

Advancing Natural Solutions to Sea Level Rise Impa...

We are advancing technical guidance to provide resource managers critical information to better prioritize and weigh trade offs among different coastal management strategies along 300 miles of the north-central California ...

Application of Clay Flocculation for Removal of Ka...

Despite routine application in Asia, clay flocculation technology to control harmful algal blooms has not been adopted in the U.S., largely because of the lack of data on U.S. ecosystems ...

Application of Quantitative Molecular Methods to C...

This project supports development for two lab-based quantitative molecular methods for more rapid, accurate detection of Alexandrium catenella resting cysts in sediment from the Gulf of Maine, Puget Sound, and ...

Are Growth and Toxicity of the Dinoflagellate Alex...

Blooms of Alexandrium fundyense result in economic losses to fisheries, aquaculture, and pose public health risks. Typically, A. fundyense growth and toxicity are seen as dependent on light, temperature, and ...

Assessing Multi-species Habitat Use and Connectivi...

We are evaluating how highly migratory and protected species, including cetaceans, fishes, pinnipeds, seabirds, and turtles, are using a network of state and federal marine protected areas (MPAs) in the ...

Assessing Societal Impacts of Harmful Macroalgae B...

We will examine how Sargassum seaweed blooms and their mitigation in the Caribbean affect multiple dimensions of social resilience, including economic impacts, human well-being, local ecological knowledge, and individual attitudes, ...

Assessment of the Short- and Long-term Socioeconom...

This project, funded by NCCOS through the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System, will comprehensively quantify and qualify the short- and long-term socioeconomic impacts of the 2017-2019 Karenia brevis ...

NOAA Assesses Policy Gaps in Sargassum Management...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released "Nearshore Sargassum Management: Policy Analysis and Agency Gaps Assessment," a detailed analysis assessing critical policy and management gaps related to Sargassum ...

New Study Compares Methods to Predict Hypoxic Cond...

Climate change is expected to reduce oxygen levels in the coastal zone, expanding existing hypoxic (low-oxygen) regions and creating new ones, causing substantial harm to coastal ecosystems like estuaries. Accurate ...

Hardening Shorelines to Reduce Saltwater Intrusion...

Many coastal communities consider building above- or below-ground seawalls to avoid the risk of saltwater mixing with the freshwater aquifers that they rely on for drinking water. NCCOS-funded scientists recently ...

NOS Leadership Visits New Hampshire to Discuss Pav...

In early August, leadership from NOAA’s National Ocean Service (NOS) visited NCCOS-funded project sites in New Hampshire to discuss ongoing coastal pavement resilience research.  Coastal communities rely almost exclusively on ...
