Identifying Critical New Directions in Marine and Coastal Ecosystem Research for NOAA Sea Grant
A working group of U.S. and international experts will be organized to synthesize the state of knowledge about the following challenge in Sea Grant's Healthy Coastal Ecosystems focus area: With large-scale ecosystem change occurring due to the synergistic effects of climate change, habitat alterations, and nutrient additions, what is the best that managers can hope to achieve and what is the best investment of public money to guide the trajectory of change towards healthy coastal ecosystems?
PI: Steven Gaines, University of California Santa Barbara.
