Grant Description

The USGS Southeast Ecological Science Center, Davie, Florida is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for Mapping and Spatial Data Analysis for Research on Indicator Species for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan and Marine Threatened/Endangered species. Protection of biological diversity has been identified at the global, national, state, and local levels as a critical component of protecting native ecosystems. Major goals of the South Florida Everglades Restoration Initiative are to restore and maintain native biological diversity of South Florida and to recover threatened and endangered species. Effective protection of an area's ecosystem requires the ability to measure and define ecological integrity and to evaluate and monitor effects of restoration. This involves data visualizations and spatial and temporal data analysis to understand the ecological process and its responses to restoration activities. The objective of this project is to provide technical support for mapping and spatial data analysis for research on indicator species for Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) and marine threatened/endangered species.
