The USGS Southeast Ecological Science Center in Davie, Florida, is offering a grant through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, South Florida/Caribbean CESU, for research on modeling habitat use of threatened and endangered sea turtles. The project involves analyzing a sea turtle spatial dataset with satellite- and GPS tag-derived locations in the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, and Caribbean regions. Key environmental drivers of habitat selection, beyond factors like depth and distance to shore, are to be determined. Closing date for applications is Feb 02, 2015.

| Description: | The USGS Southeast Ecological Science Center, Davie, Florida, is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to model habitat use of threatened and endangered sea turtles. The sea turtle spatial dataset is comprised of satellite- and GPS tag-derived locations in the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, and Caribbean. Initial data analyses have shown high-use areas for adult female Kemp¿s ridleys, loggerheads, and green turtles. Habitat features such as depth and distance to shore have been ranked as key factors in habitat selection; however, determining other key environmental drivers of habitat selection is a research need. |
