OpportunityTitle: Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with South Florida Caribbean Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.  CESU&#8217;s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education.  Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the South Florida Caribbean Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.
Description: The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in aerial imaging surveys for nesting sea turtle activity. To help assess the injury to nesting sea turtles from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, a complete understanding of trends in nesting abundance is necessary. However, accessibility to some areas that may support turtle nesting, including much of Louisiana&#8217;s coastline and barrier islands, creates challenges for conducting repeatable cost-effective surveys.
