The Competitive Research Program (CRP), part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), supports the development of actionable information and tools that improve how the nation protects, manages, and conserves ocean and coastal ecosystems. NCCOS/CRP funds regional-scale and targeted research through a competitive, peer-reviewed process to address our Nation’s most pressing issues including harmful algal blooms and hypoxia research as authorized under the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Act, coastal resiliency, sea-level rise, ocean acidification, mesophotic coral ecosystems, and effective ecosystem-based management.

CSCOR continued to support it’s harmful algal bloom (HAB) and hypoxia research with monitoring and modeling capabilities to provide managers with seasonal HAB and hypoxia forecasts in numerous regions in the US including the Gulf of Mexico, Chesapeake Bay, Lake Erie, Gulf of Maine, and coastal Washington, Oregon, and California. New studies are supporting the ecological effects of sea level rise on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, San Francisco Bay, and unique Hawaiian Island inland ponds connected to the ocean. New support is provided for the combined effects of ocean acidification and hypoxia on living marine resources around the U.S. Socioeconomic studies are focusing on valuing ecosystem services
CSCOR initiated new research projects in its harmful algal bloom research programs, as well as continue existing projects in its ecosystem stressors and regional research programs in coastal regions such as the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Gulf of Maine and Gulf of Mexico
Pending appropriations, CSCOR expects to initiate new research project in its Regional Ecosystem Prediction Program, Hypoxia and Ocean Acidification programs, as well as continuing existing projects in its ecosystem stressors and regional research programs in coastal regions such as the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Gulf of Maine and Gulf of Mexico
CRP continued to support its harmful algal bloom (HAB) and hypoxia research with monitoring and modeling capabilities to provide managers with seasonal HAB and hypoxia forecasts in numerous regions in the US including the Gulf of Mexico, Chesapeake Bay, Lake Erie, Gulf of Maine, and coastal Washington, Oregon, and California. Research investigated HAB socioeconomics and HAB prevention, control and mitigation. Studies continued supporting the effects of sea level rise (ESLR) on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and the use of natural and nature-based features (NNBF) to mitigate sea level rise around the U.S. Coral ecosystem research continued on connectivity of coral ecosystems in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico and the mesophotic coral ecosystems of American Samoa. Support continued for the combined effects of ocean acidification (OA) and hypoxia on living marine resources.
CRP continues to support its harmful algal bloom (HAB) and hypoxia research with monitoring and modeling capabilities to provide managers with seasonal HAB and hypoxia forecasts in numerous regions in the US including the Gulf of Mexico, Chesapeake Bay, Lake Erie, Gulf of Maine, and coastal Washington, Oregon, and California. CRP also continues to support effects of seal level rise (ESLR) to enhance Natural and Nature-based Features (NNBF) for coastal resilience in the Gulf of Mexico, the Mid- and SE coastal Atlantic and the Pacific Coast. Regarding corals, CRP continues regional ecosystem and mesophotic coral ecosystem connectivity studies in the Gulf of Mexico, Hawaii, and American Samoa. Support continues for the combined effects of ocean acidification (OA) and hypoxia on living marine resources.
New CRP research in FY21 investigates coastal and surface transportation resilience for management applications along the coastlines of the Gulf of Mexico, eastern U.S. seaboard, and New England. New regional ecosystem research investigates species’ habitat requirements and ecosystem connectivity among and within Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). New HAB research supports application of clay flocculation for removal of Karenia brevis cells, enhancing the capabilities of the 3rd Generation Environmental Sample Processor (3G ESP) for HAB toxin detection, and developing an optimized early warning program for the mitigation of HAB Impacts on shellfish in the Pacific Northwest.
Future support is being planned for investigating the relationship between ocean acidification and HABs.

Regarding corals, CRP continues regional ecosystem and mesophotic coral ecosystem connectivity studies in the Gulf of Mexico, Hawaii, and American Samoa. New CRP research in FY22 is investigating the relationship between ocean acidification and HABs, providing support for a control incubator for HABs and a project examining the effects of multiple stressors on organisms in the Northern California Current and support for multiple ESLR projects to understand the ecological effects of sea level rise on the West and East coast.

Regarding corals, CRP continues regional ecosystem and mesophotic coral ecosystem connectivity studies in the Gulf of Mexico, Hawaii, and American Samoa. New CRP research in FY23 will fund targeted Prevention Control and Mitigation of Harmful Algal Bloom (PCMHAB) proposals that advance new methods for HAB toxin measurement in seafood to prevent human illnesses, and Monitoring and Event Response for Harmful Algal Blooms (MERHAB) targeted and regional proposals that build and sustain capacity for monitoring and observing of HABs and associated toxins; Coastal Hypoxia Research Program (CHRP) projects to improve the understanding of physical/biogeochemical effects of hypoxia and potential synergies with other stressors on living resources, habitats, and food webs and projects from the Effects of Sea Level Rise (ESLR) Technical Assistance program that will lead to the application of mature modeling approaches developed under existing research projects that apply existing advanced modeling approaches to evaluate land management actions, flood mitigation designs, and policy scenarios under climate scenarios to inform future restoration and flood mitigation project applications.
FY24: CRP continues to support its harmful algal bloom (HAB) and hypoxia research with monitoring and modeling capabilities to provide managers with seasonal HAB and hypoxia forecasts in numerous regions in the US including the Gulf of Mexico, Chesapeake Bay, Lake Erie, Gulf of Maine, and coastal Washington, Oregon, and California. CRP also continues to support effects of seal level rise (ESLR) to enhance Natural and Nature-based Features (NNBF) for coastal resilience in the Gulf of Mexico, the Mid- and SE coastal Atlantic and the Pacific Coast. CRP also continues to administer and support the NOAA RESTORE Science Program and carry out research, observation, and monitoring to support sustainability of the ecosystem, fish stocks, fish habitat, and the recreational, commercial, and charter-fishing industry in the Gulf of Mexico.
