National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science – NOAA RESTORE Act Science Program
11.451
The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) RESTORE Science Program is to carry out research, observation, and monitoring to support the long-term sustainability of the ecosystem, fish stocks, fish habitat, and the recreational, commercial, and charter-fishing industry in the Gulf of Mexico. To meet this mission, the Science Program invests in researcher and natural resource manage relationships and the coproduction of science to support natural resource management decisions in the Gulf. The Science Program is funded by a portion of the Clean Water Act penalties from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and authorized by the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies (RESTORE) of the Gulf States Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-141, Section 1604).

The RESTORE Act Science Program’s suite of awards from our initial funding competition in 2015 are about half way completed and each is making progress consistent with their milestones and expected outputs. We will be publicizing the outputs and outcomes resulting from our current awards as they near completion
The RESTORE Science Program is currently funding 15 teams of researchers and resource managers to support work on living coastal and marine resources and their habitats in the Gulf of Mexico. Six of the teams will be working directly with resource managers to improve the decision support tools available for managing living coastal and marine resources in the Gulf. Nine of the teams will be conducting research on living coastal and marine resources to address questions resource managers need answered about food webs, habitat use, fisheries recruitment, the impact of stressors, and how habitats are connected in the Gulf.
The Restore Science Program will continue to support work on living coastal and marine resources and their habitats in the Gulf of Mexico. Six of the teams will be working directly with resource managers to improve the decision support tools available for managing living coastal and marine resources in the Gulf. Nine of the teams will be conducting research on living coastal and marine resources to address questions resource managers need answered about food webs, habitat use, fisheries recruitment, the impact of stressors, and how habitats are connected in the Gulf.
