Calling all east coast oyster aquaculturists! We teamed up with NOAA Fisheries to create a nutrient removal calculator that provides a science-based estimate of how much nitrogen oyster farms remove from local waterways. 🦪 Generate your own report that can be used in the aquaculture permitting process → https://lnkd.in/eattUgfC #Aquaculture #SeafoodMonth

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

We’re headed to The American Clean Power Association’s 2024 Offshore WINDPOWER conference and exhibition in Atlantic City, NJ! NCCOS staff will be showcasing our tools and spatial science at a tradeshow booth, and marine ecologist and offshore wind lead, Dr. James Morris, will be a panelist during a flash session - Gulf of Maine: Case Study in Ocean Planning and Lease Development. We look forward to this valuable opportunity to continue to support sustainable offshore renewable energy development! https://lnkd.in/ejFfXuyi #windworks #cleanpower Photo Credit: Erin McLean (Turn Forward)

Happy #NationalMarineSanctuaryDay!
It's our birthday... or should we say #NationalMarineSanctuaryDay! Today, we're celebrating the 52nd Anniversary of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act! 🎉 Each national marine sanctuary and marine national monument has its own unique history and purpose. These underwater parks were set aside for both protection and enjoyment, now and in the future. Learn more about sanctuaries by visiting https://lnkd.in/gDAbZUv.

The popular marsh migration model, SLAMM, is now available as a python script. The open source pySLAMM, promotes model advancements and broadening the accessibility of marsh predictions to the scientific and coastal management community. This transition offers numerous advantages, including the enhanced ability to operate in conjunction with other Python-based tools and frameworks commonly used in the scientific and environmental research community, ensuring the model's long-term viability and support. https://lnkd.in/dWVBN8tb
