A NOAA-led team is developing a new suite of species distribution and habitat models that better predict where deep sea corals might be found in
With deep sea corals, as with real estate, location is everything. To thrive, corals need the right combination of seafloor substrate, depth, slope, and structure,
Shrimp is one of the most valuable and plentiful commercial fisheries in Louisiana, but locating aggregations of shrimp in numbers high enough to harvest takes
NCCOS is using acoustic telemetry to track movements and identify environmental preferences of striped bass and red drum to support NOAA’s Changing Ecosystems and Fisheries
NCCOS scientists embarked on their first fish telemetry field mission to support the NOAA Climate Ecosystems and Fisheries Initiative (CEFI). CEFI is a cross-NOAA effort
To inform the sustainable development of offshore wind energy on the United States’ Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), a recent study sheds light on the
The NCCOS Northern Gulf of Mexico Ecosystems and Hypoxia Assessment Program (NGOMEX) has produced various ecosystem models that predict the effects of hypoxia on living
A new modeling study by NOAA scientists and others at University of the Virgin Islands and Louisiana State University predicts the distribution of Orbicella corals
NCCOS-supported researchers found that marine organism geographic distributions are best predicted by measuring temperature and dissolved oxygen together. Temperature and oxygen are closely linked in
Understanding and predicting environmental conditions and hazards along our coastlines is important for management, coastal communities and economies. We provide scientific information and tools on
