Ecological forecasting of hypoxia assessments in Lake Erie. The project created, tested and applied models to forecast how anthropogenic stresses (like land use and invasive species) and natural stresses (like climatic variability) influence hypoxia formation and ecology, with an emphasis on fish production. This research was funded by the Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Today, the Department of Commerce and NOAA announced $27 million in funding for projects to prevent and remove marine debris in coastal and Great Lakes communities as part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.Â
This funding will support innovative research and foster local coalitions to address urgent marine debris issues by using NOAA Sea Grant’s partnered approach to bring science together with communities for solutions that work.
