CEECC Outcomes
CEECC's interdisciplinary research studies are helping to advance the state of the science and also lead to results with direct application to needs of state coastal resource and resource managers. For sea level rise CSCOR and partners within NOAA have developed a hydrodynamic tide and storm surge model of Pamlico, Albemarle, Core, and Bogue Sounds as well as adjacent estuarine and coastal waters. GLOBEC fisheries results have been used by fishery managers in debating closed areas on Georges Bank in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean, and most recently the salmon fishery off the coast of Oregon. Recent discoveries in the Northeast Pacific Ocean show the importance of oceanic variability in influencing zooplankton species distributions, salmon growth and survival, and episodic events such as coastal hypoxia.
