The USGS Alaska Science Center is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on fish populations in the nearshore Beaufort Sea, alongside a K-12 Oceanography Program. This grant aims to update knowledge on Arctic fish communities and their habitat use, essential due to shifting physical attributes like temperature and salinity that have impacted assemblages. The collected data will provide NEPA analysts with critical information for assessments and improve understanding of development risks in federal waters. The K-12 program is integral for data collection and community outreach, connecting scientific research with educational engagement.

| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The USGS Alaska Science Center is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to conduct a fish survey in the nearshore Beaufort Sea and support a K-12 Oceanography Program as an integral component of the projectâ¿¿s data collection and a conduit for community outreach. Changes in physical habitat attributes in the Arctic (e.g., temperature and salinity) have led to numerous species range shifts and likely modified fish assemblages in nearshore systems over the last several decades. Updated information on fish community and use of nearshore habitats will provide NEPA analysists with information for assessments and improve understanding of current susceptibility and risks of development and production in federal waters. |
