Coastal communities rely on roads, and many roads are deteriorating from increased flooding. NOAA National Ocean Service leadership recently visited NCCOS-funded researchers from University of New Hampshire that are working to find solutions. https://lnkd.in/earUe-a9

About us
The National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science was formed in 1999 as the focal point for NOAA’s coastal ocean science efforts. We help NOAA meet its coastal stewardship and management responsibilities, and we provide coastal managers with the scientific information necessary to decide how best to protect environmental resources and public health, preserve valued habitats, and improve the way communities interact with coastal ecosystems. Our work includes: -Coastal Change: Vulnerability, Mitigation, and Restoration -Marine Spatial Ecology -Social Science -Stressor Impacts and Mitigation

20 years of U.S. Caribbean seafloor mapping is now complete! Throughout 23 cruises, scientists distributed 267 acoustic sensors, conducted 1814 nm of survey coverage, and carried out 955 ROV dives. The info collected will help inform local management decisions regarding overfishing, maritime navigation, place-based management, and more. https://lnkd.in/e6-Xnkdj #Caribbean #HabitatMapping

NCCOS-funded researchers developed a model that predicts how saturated pavements become during flood events, and how long they stay saturated. Model results can inform pavement designs and management strategies to maximize road resilience. https://lnkd.in/dbewWhds

Over the course of six weeks aboard NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations Ship Pisces, NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration and partners used a variety of ocean technologies to collect seafloor data and biological samples to characterize deep-sea communities in the Gulf of Mexico. This information will be used as a baseline to help restore habitats impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eBnAzqiR #GulfOfMexico
