The Governors’ South Atlantic Alliance (GSAA) Data Portal is an online toolkit and resource center that consolidates available state, regional, and federal datasets into one location for Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. This allows users of the Portal to learn about the region’s data resources, explore a robust repository, and visualize these data via the Portal tools. Developed by the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA) with NOAA support through the S.C. Sea Grant Consortium, the GSAA Portal provides a foundation for long-term collaborative planning in the South Atlantic region for a wide range of coastal uses.

Fish for Tomorrow: Bahamian Fisheries in a Changing Climate
Climate change is profoundly impacting people involved in fishing by altering coastal ecosystems and disrupting cultural, economic, and social patterns tied to small-scale fisheries. Fish for Tomorrow showcases the livelihoods and daily practices of fishers from Abaco – an island in The Bahamas that was ravaged by Hurricane Dorian in September 2019. The film highlights the voices of three fishers who share their deep-rooted relationship to fishing, the ecological and social changes they have witnessed, and their future outlook for Bahamian fisheries in a changing climate.
