This National Park Service grant is specifically designed to support the post-discharge pre-assessment of Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles and their nests. The initiative, structured as a non-competitive award under the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), seeks to document critical post-discharge environmental conditions. Data collected along the Texas coastline of the Gulf of Mexico will directly inform the ongoing Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) associated with the MC 252 Oil Spill. This project is vital for evaluating the ecological impact and facilitating recovery strategies for this endangered marine species.
