NOAA is offering the 2019 Deep Coral Reef Ecosystem Studies Program grant to conduct research on mesophotic coral ecosystems in American Samoa. The project, spanning up to four years, aims to enhance the understanding of these ecosystems, which are characterized by light-dependent corals found at depths from 30-40m to over 150m. The research will facilitate the development of management strategies for these poorly understood ecosystems. The grant, contingent on 2019 Federal appropriations, will support one project with an annual budget of up to $600,000. Applications are accepted until February 28, 2019.

Description: | The purpose of this document is to advise the public that NOAA/NOS/National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science/Competitive Research Program, in partnership with NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries and Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, is soliciting proposals under the Deep Coral Reef Ecosystem Studies Program for a project up to four years in duration to conduct research to improve the understanding of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) in American Samoa. MCEs are characterized by the presence of light-dependent corals and associated communities typically found at depths from 30-40 m and extending to over 150 m in some tropical and subtropical regions. MCEs may be regarded as extensions of shallow coral ecosystems including sharing common species, but also contain species unique to mesophotic depths. This information will be used to improve the ability of resource managers to proactively develop strategies to manage and protect poorly understood mesophotic coral ecosystems. Funding is contingent upon the availability of Fiscal Year 2019 Federal appropriations. If funds become available for this program, one project is expected to be supported for up to four years, with an approximate annual budget of up to $600,000. |
