Overview
Grant Description
Understanding and managing the Gulf of Mexico as an integrated, dynamic and changing system requires a system-level scientific approach. Scientific synthesis provides a mechanism to address complex social and environmental problems that are beyond the scope of any one discipline while simultaneously capitalizing on the vast amount of data now available due to recent technological advances.
To improve our understanding of ecological processes in the Gulf of Mexico and support ecosystem based management (EBM), this project will fund the National Center for Ecological Analysis & Synthesis (NCEAS) to carry out a synthesis initiative for the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. NCEAS and the NOAA Restore Science Program will jointly develop a funding announcement with three scientific priority areas: fisheries, climate change, and the ecological impact of management actions.
The announcement will be used for three separate funding competitions, with no more than one competition per year. Each
