This Department of Interior grant, offered through a non-competitive Task Agreement under the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Master Agreement, aims to establish a vital seagrass monitoring program at Gulf Islands National Seashore (GUIS). This grant is for implementing a comprehensive monitoring strategy, based on the hierarchical approach outlined by Neckles et al. (2011), to quantitatively assess the relationships between physical and biotic factors influencing seagrass condition, distribution, persistence, and overall health. The project seeks to understand and protect these critical marine ecosystems. Furthermore, this initiative will foster collaboration by sharing its monitoring protocols with an identical program conducted by the University of Texas Marine Science Institute at the Upper Laguna Madre, Padre Island National Seashore, promoting consistent and comparable data collection across key Gulf Coast sites.

| Description: | This is a Notice of Intent (NOI) to award a non-competitive Task Agreement under the Gulf Coast, Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Master Cooperative Agreement (P12AC51051) in accordance with Department of Interior, 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The purpose of this project is to implement a monitoring program for seagrasses at Gulf Islands National Seashore (GUIS). The approach follows the hierarchical strategy for seagrass monitoring outlined by Neckles et al. (2011) to establish the quantitative relationships between physical and biotic parameters that ultimately control seagrass condition, distribution, persistence, and overall health. This work will be share protocols with an identical monitoring conducted by the University of Texas Marine Science Institute at the Upper Laguna Madre, Padre Island National Seashore.
