Did you know that NH Sea Grant funds research projects that enhance our relationship with the coastal environment?
Here's a glimpse into #SeaGrantFunded research on the Isles of Shoals this summer, featuring researcher Elizabeth Craig and her team studying common and roseate terns.

Common seaweeds in Narragansett Bay have been found to harbor Vibrio bacteria, prompting new calls to monitor seaweed as a potential pathway of exposure.

Tune into @WCAI_NPR "The Point" tomorrow (April 11) from 9-930am to hear WHOI Sea Grant Director Matt Charette talk about our new funded research! @WHOI @SeaGrant @CapeCodGov #sciencecommunication #sciencestories #scienceresearch #seagrantfunded
@whoi researchers Di Jin and Michael Weir will survey property owners to identify factors influencing the decision not to purchase #flood insurance. This is one of 5 new research projects WHOI Sea Grant is excited to announce. @seagrant #seagrantfunded #science
Fantastic day to talk #ClimateAction. 🔥🌊 THANK YOU to all our partners, sponsors and presenters for another successful Islands Coastal Conference in #Nantucket! #seagrantfunded @SeaGrant @WHOI @CapeCodGov @nantucketNRD @MassCZM @acklibrary @ackconservation @AckNlc @ACKCurrent

🦪 Our #scientists found that small #oyster seed can grow just as well in a field culture set-up as in upwellers, but density matters!

Thanks @CTepolt for sharing cool photos from your fieldwork helping shellfish farmers with biofouling by barnacles. #oysters #SeaGrantfunded x.com/CTepolt/status/154866229...
A #SeaGrantFunded project is taking a broad ecological approach to understanding kelp forest degradation by considering the major organisms involved, including two important bull kelp forest players: purple urchins and sunflower stars.

A California Sea Grant funded research team aimed to develop a model that depicts wave action and rising water levels along the San Francisco Bay coastline to assess how efficiently tidal marshes and mudflats reduce the impacts of flooding. #SeaGrantFunded

WHSG put $1.5 million to fund: designing #sustainable #shorelines with traditional knowledge; striped bass in recreational fishery; aquaculture grow-out methods: barnacle biofouling on #oyster farms; #hypoxia in Cape Cod Bay. #SeaGrantFunded https://rb.gy/rssz39 @WHOI
Banking on a species’ future revival means taking action now, which is why #SeaGrantFunded scientists are making a vault of bull kelp gametophytes now before more is lost.

#SeaGrantFunded researchers are using a new technique dubbed Green Gravel as a method for kelp forest restoration. The gravel is seeded with young kelp spores and then spread from a boat, reducing the cost and effort necessary for reforesting kelp beds.

#SeaGrantFunded researchers monitor their long-established research sites to understand whether MPAs are effective at protecting the unique rocky intertidal system. The data will also be crucial for assessing the ecological damage wrought by oil spills. https://bit.ly/3BTs3YE
