This grant from the Department of Interior aims to implement a long-term seagrass monitoring program at Padre Island National Seashore. The goal is to establish quantitative relationships between physical and biotic parameters to understand seagrass condition, distribution, persistence, and overall health. Following a hierarchical strategy outlined by experts in the field, this project will contribute valuable data for effective seagrass management in the Texas coastal area. Applicants can refer to the attached Full Announcement for detailed information. Closing date for applications is August 6, 2013.

| 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 Padre Island National Seashore (PAIS). 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. The approach follows a broad template adopted by several federal and state agencies across the country, but which is uniquely designed for Texas (Dunton et al., 2011).
