This grant, offered by the US Geological Survey to a CESU-affiliated partner, is for research focused on aerial imaging surveys of nesting sea turtle activity. This funding aims to better understand nesting abundance trends and assess injury to sea turtle populations resulting from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Given the challenges of accessing remote areas, such as Louisiana’s coastline, for traditional surveys, aerial imaging provides a repeatable and cost-effective solution. This grant is for this purpose: to gather comprehensive data on sea turtle nesting patterns, enabling critical ecological assessment and informing long-term recovery strategies.

| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in aerial imaging surveys for nesting sea turtle activity. To help assess the injury to nesting sea turtles from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, a complete understanding of trends in nesting abundance is necessary. However, accessibility to some areas that may support turtle nesting, including much of Louisiana’s coastline and barrier islands, creates challenges for conducting repeatable cost-effective surveys. |
