This department is offering a research grant to Florida International University for a project to study the interconnections between water quality, submerged aquatic vegetation, and wintering waterfowl in Everglades National Park. The project will focus on conducting experiments on soils and plants in mangrove-dominated wetlands near Florida Bay to measure the impacts of saltwater intrusion on soil stability and nutrient release. Additionally, the grant will support monitoring changes in water quality and habitat distribution near the mangrove wetlands to enhance understanding of how these systems respond to restoration efforts and sea-level rise. Applications are not being accepted as the award has already been determined.

| Description: | Notice of intent to award, applications will not be accepted for this agreement. This task agreement is being awarded To Florida International University under South Florida CESU Master Cooperative Agreement: P16AC00032. . With this agreement, experiments on soils and plants from the mangrove-dominated wetlands adjacent to Florida Bay will be run, with measurements of the effects of saltwater intrusion on soil stability and nutrient release. This agreement will also support monitoring and assessment of changes in Florida Bay water quality and habitat distribution and condition at sites near the mangrove wetland. This will improve our ability to understand the coupled response of these systems to restoration and sea-level rise. |
