Grant Description

The National Wetlands Research Center (NWRC) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to design and develop a prototype decision framework (with explicit feedbacks to monitoring data and information) to identify management decisions that optimize the protection, conservation, and sustainability of Mississippi barrier island footprints and the habitats they support. This research will contribute new structured decision making (SDM) tools and documentation to natural resource managers participating in barrier island restoration to carry forward in their programs, providing opportunities to refine to specific adaptive management needs in the future.
