NOAA’s NCCOS/CSCOR is soliciting proposals under the Regional Ecosystem Prediction Program: From Science to Management. This grant aims to significantly enhance the management of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) across the U.S. Caribbean. Projects will involve synthesizing current MCE information, identifying their connections to resource management, analyzing threats, and developing effective management strategies. Grantees will also identify critical information gaps for future research. The primary objective is to empower resource managers to proactively develop robust protection strategies for these vital, yet poorly understood, ecosystems. This includes informing coastal and marine spatial planning, and optimizing the placement of marine protected areas to conserve both shallow and mesophotic coral habitats. Funding is for projects up to three years.

| Description: | The purpose of this document is to advise the public thatNOAA/NOS/NCCOS/CSCOR is soliciting proposals under the Regional Ecosystem PredictionProgram: From Science to Management for a project to synthesize existing information onmesophotic coral ecosystems within the U.S. Caribbean, describe linkages to resourcemanagement responsibilities, analyze both known and potential threats to MCEs, and developviable options for managing them, as well as identify gaps in information for future research.This information will be used to improve the ability of resource managers to proactively developstrategies to protect poorly understood mesophotic coral ecosystems, including coastal andmarine spatial planning and the siting of marine protected areas and marine protected areanetworks for shallow and mesophotic coral ecosystems. Funding is contingent upon theavailability of Fiscal Year 2012 Federal appropriations. It is anticipated that finalrecommendations for funding under this announcement will be made by early Calendar Year2012, and that any project funded under this announcement will have a September 1, 2012 startdate. One to two projects are expected to be supported for up to 3 years in duration with abudget of approximately $500,000 for projects focused solely on Puerto Rico or the U.S. VirginIslands; or one project of up to 3 years in duration with a budget of approximately $750,000 for aU.S. Caribbean-wide project (excluding Navassa Island).”Electronic Access: Background information about the NCCOS/CSCOR efforts can be found atwww.cop.noaa.gov.
