This grant, offered by the USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center, provides a funding opportunity for a CESU partner to conduct research and technical assistance. The focus is on complex ecological questions requiring the integration of large datasets, such as long-term species capture records and satellite telemetry, with remotely-sensed products. Successful approaches will utilize quantitative and geospatial analyses, alongside expertise in publishing peer-reviewed manuscripts and reports. This project is crucial for protecting biological diversity and native ecosystems, specifically by evaluating and monitoring the effects of management actions. A primary objective is to develop essential tools for assessing and managing strategies for protected sea turtle species, aligning with DOI’s science needs.

| Description: | The USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center, Davie, Florida is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research and technical assistance with a range of ecological questions where integration of large datasets such as those derived from long-term species capture records and satellite telemetry with remotely-sensed products is needed. Approaches using quantitative and geospatial analyses are needed as is experience conducting and publishing reviews that include peer-reviewed manuscripts and reports.Protection of biological diversity has been identified at the global, national, state, and local levels as a critical component of protecting native ecosystems. Effective protection of an area’s ecological integrity involves having the ability to evaluate and monitor effects of management actions. This project is designed to meet specific DOI science needs and to provide tools necessary for evaluation and assessment of management strategies for protected sea turtle species. |
