Summary PROJECT INACTIVE

The primary goal of this project is to support the Conservation and Science Division of the National Marine Sanctuary Program with its various science needs. Currently that effort has been focused on a system-wide assessment of acoustic telemetry research on fish movements throughout the Sanctuaries, including a published literature review, a review of existing and planned projects, as well as the development of informational graphics to showcase use of telemetry to answer specific science questions.

Student Involvement

This project, thus far, supports a single CSUMB graduate student.

Broader Significance

This project occurs as part of a broader, nation-wide ‘University Partnership’ with the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. CSUMB is leading the way in defining best practices for how the nation’s universities can support the federal government’s science needs while simultaneously providing students with opportunities to participate as part of their educations. To that end this initial project is laying a foundation for a great deal of future work.
