NOAA and NSF Solicit Funding Proposals for an Ecosystem Approach to Ocean and Coastal Regulation
On July 7, 2009, the U.S. NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service and National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences published Federal Register notice soliciting proposals for the Comparative Analysis of Marine Ecosystem Organization (CAMEO) Program. Their Federal Register notice explains that
"CAMEO is implemented as a partnership between NOAA and the NSF.
The purpose of CAMEO is to strengthen the scientific basis for an ecosystem approach to the stewardship of our ocean and coastal living marine resources. The program will
support fundamental research to understand complex dynamics controlling ecosystem
structure, productivity, behavior, resilience, and population connectivity, as well as effects of climate variability and anthropogenic pressures on living marine
resources and critical habitats. CAMEO encourages the development of
multiple approaches, such as ecosystem models and comparative analyses
of managed and unmanaged areas (e.g., marine protected areas) that can
ultimately form a basis for forecasting and decision support. Further
information is available on the CAMEO web site (http://cameo.noaa.gov)."
Full proposals for CAMEO funding must be received and validated by Grants.gov,
postmarked, or provided to a delivery service on or before 11:59 p.m. ET, October 5, 2009.
