The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded Battelle Memorial Institute a $376,124 grant to study the historical trends of hypoxia in Puget Sound. This grant is the first installment of a two-year award from NOAA for $517,012. The grant supports research to reconstruct the history of hypoxia in two basins of Puget Sound by examining [...]
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded the University of Delaware a $206,758 grant to study the impact of hypoxia on fish habitat quality in the coastal bays of Delaware. This award is the first installment of a three-year, $548,273 grant from NOAA. The grant supports research to study how diel-cycling hypoxia, or short term [...]
What is the best way for a teacher to gain first-hand knowledge of oceanic science? How can a teacher partake in a unique, educational experience? By taking a cruise of course! Herb Bergamini, an 8th grade science teacher at the Northwest School in Seattle, participated in the Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algae Blooms Pacific [...]
NOAA and Mote Marine Laboratory of Sarasota, Fla., have signed a three-year $364,000 contract to partner in the monitoring and detection of harmful algal blooms (HAB) using newly developed underwater technology that should provide earlier warning of HAB events along Florida
NOAA and Mote Marine Laboratory of Sarasota, Fla., have signed a three-year $364,000 contract to partner in the monitoring and detection of harmful algal blooms (HAB) using newly developed underwater technology that should provide earlier warning of HAB events along Florida ‘s Gulf coast. NOAA currently operates an existing Operational Harmful Algal Bloom Forecast System [...]
