Grant Description

This is a Notice of Intent (NOI) to award a non-competitive Task Agreement under the Gulf Coast, Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Master Cooperative Agreement (P12AC51051) in accordance with Department of Interior, 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The purpose of this project is to implement a monitoring program for seagrasses at Padre Island National Seashore (PAIS). The approach follows the hierarchical strategy for seagrass monitoring outlined by Neckles et al. (2011) to establish the quantitative relationships between physical and biotic parameters that ultimately control seagrass condition, distribution, persistence, and overall health.
