Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Purpose: The guiding philosophy for New Hampshire Sea Grant (NHSG) is to serve our constituency by supporting innovative and cutting-edge research integrated with expert extension, outreach, and education to foster dialog and science-based decision-making in areas of particular importance to our region.
The overarching purpose of New Hampshire Sea Grant is to enhance our relationship with the coastal environment so that we can sustain healthy ecosystems, economies, and resilient and inclusive communities.
Activities to be performed: NH Sea Grant integrates innovative approaches across several functional areas, which represent how Sea Grant generates, transmits, translates, and transitions knowledge to address critical issues with partners, networks, and other interested parties.
These functional areas of activities include research, extension, environmental literacy (education), workforce development, communications, and program management.
It is a central function of NHSG to facilitate connections among diverse networks and to support innovative approaches that elevate community engagement in solutions relevant to our mission.
NHSG seeks to do this by supporting the long-term development of relationships, trust, knowledge, collaboration, respectful sharing of perspectives and ideas, and connections that engage and entrain relevant expertise in problem-solving.
Expected outcomes: Outcomes will demonstrate measurable progress toward the following goals from the NHSG Strategic Plan 2024-2027:
Healthy coastal ecosystem structures, functions, and services are protected, enhanced, and/or restored.
Coastal ecosystems are clean and safe for recreation and consumption of locally harvested seafood.
Community members use scientific knowledge to identify questions, develop assessment methods, draw conclusions, and/or make decisions regarding the health of New Hampshire's marine, coastal, and estuarine resources.
Coastal communities in New Hampshire, from headwaters to oceanfront, gain the capability to protect water resources.
Coastal communities in New Hampshire gain the capability to prepare for, recover from, adapt to, and evolve with the environmental, social, and economic effects of severe weather and climate change.
Coastal communities gain the capability to participate in public discussions, make informed decisions, and implement steps for enhancing the blue economy (seafood, ocean renewable energy, tourism, working waterfronts, and maritime transport) equitably.
New Hampshire community members' environmental literacy and engagement are enhanced through non-formal education and outreach opportunities in ocean, coastal, and climate sciences.
Environmentally literate youth in New Hampshire are supported by formal and non-formal education and outreach opportunities in ocean, coastal, and climate sciences that are aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), NH Environmental Literacy Plan (NHELP), and culturally responsive teaching practices.
Formal and non-formal educators in New Hampshire incorporate ocean, coastal, and climate topics and data into curricula and programming that is grounded in NGSS, NHELP, and culturally responsive teaching practices.
New Hampshire develops a diverse workforce prepared to address ocean, coastal, and climate issues through a range of learning approaches and environments, and with an increased awareness of and retention in related careers.
Fisheries and aquaculture industries supply food and jobs, as well as economic and cultural benefits.
New Hampshire natural resources are sustained to support fishing communities and industries, aquaculture businesses, and cultural resources including commercial, recreational, tribal, sustenance, and other non-commercial uses.
Intended beneficiaries: Primary beneficiaries will be NH residents.
Subrecipient activities: Subrecipients may provide additional support for research and extension activities.
