Project Description: This project will involve close collaboration among CCS researchers and NPS scientists and managers at Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO) and the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN). The collaborative scientific analysis will enhance our understanding of seagrass resources throughout Cape Cod National Seashore and provide up-to-date scientific insights to inform coastal resource management decisions across the region.
The Recipient will collect and analyze new and existing data in
support of assessing seagrass resources in and around Cape Cod National Seashore. The results will be provided by Recipient to NPS. Through scientific collaboration among various project partners, including the Recipient and NPS, the seagrass and ancillary data will be integrated to assess the condition and integrity of Cape Cod National Seashore seagrass resources, and to understand and evaluate opportunities for seagrass restoration.
