Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Wetland and Aquatic Research Center is offering a funding opportunity to a Partner of the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) Program to fund monitoring and research on the barrier islands of Mississippi. The goal of the project is to continue the monitoring and research of the Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program (MsCIP) through the cooperation between the USGS and CESU Partner. The monitoring and research will investigate the impacts of Mississippi barrier island restoration on submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) communities. To effectively evaluate restoration project success is it critical to evaluate short- and long-term ecosystem response to restoration. This monitoring and research will focus on the SAV ecosystem responses following barrier island restoration.
