This grant from the USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center is for funding research in tidal salt marshes within coastal Louisiana. It targets a Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit Partner to promote cooperation in investigating carbon sequestration and enhancing coastal marsh resilience. The project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of wetland restoration techniques for sustaining marsh ecosystems and their role in carbon sequestration. This research is crucial for maintaining the Mississippi River Delta Plain wetlands, contributing to greenhouse gas reductions, and improving understanding of land management scenarios that boost carbon sequestration in coastal wetlands. Ultimately, this work will significantly support Louisiana’s climate adaptation strategy.

| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The Wetland and Aquatic Research Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to one CESU Partner of the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) Program to fund research in tidal salt marshes in coastal Louisiana. The goal of the project is to promote continued cooperation between the USGS and a Gulf Coast CESU Partner in support of research investigating carbon sequestration and increased coastal resilience of marshes in Louisiana. The research investigates the effectiveness of wetland restoration techniques for marsh sustainability and carbon sequestration. Restoration helps to sustain the wetlands of the Mississippi River Delta Plain and also contributes to greenhouse gas reductions. To effectively mitigate climate change, it is critical to increase the understanding of land management scenarios that enhance carbon sequestration in coastal wetlands. This research will play a critical role in the State of Louisiana’s climate adaptation strategy. |
