NOAA Mission Log
the new NOAA "Mission Log" -- a blog about the ongoing research and monitoring in the Gulf of Mexico. Federal and academic scientists are at sea to determine the fate of the subsurface oil, from the near shore to the open ocean, from the surface to the seafloor. You can follow their work at http://missionlog.noaa.gov (there's also a link at www.noaa.gov
The Mission Log makes it easy to stay up-to-date with efforts to track the fate of the oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill. Scientists and crew members on the missions write the posts, and anyone can leave a comment.

Gulf of Mexico Research Plan Survey
Subject: Gulf of Mexico Research Plan Survey
The Gulf of Mexico Research Plan (GMRP) is being used in several initiatives that are funding millions of dollars of research in the region. Research priorities may have shifted and additional priorities may need to be addressed due to recent events including the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. We are updating the GMRP as a service to the research community.
We are using a survey as one way to collect stakeholder input. The survey will close on October 8th. If you have not yet completed the survey you can at the web address below (click it or paste it into your browser):
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/researchoilspill
The survey takes less than 15 minutes to complete. If you have already completed the survey, we thank you for your time and input. We would appreciate it if you would forward the survey to others within your networks.
A Planning and Review Council provides input and guidance to the GMRP effort, which is coordinated by the four Sea Grant College Programs in the region. For more information you can visit the GMRP website at: http://masgc.org/gmrp/index.htm
The GMRP and associated surveys and workshop results are available to you. I can provide you with customized survey results if it is of interest to you. If you have questions or wish to obtain a paper copy of the survey, please contact me via email (stephen.sempier@usm.edu) or phone.

Research assistant
Mitigating the Threat of Invasive Alien Species in the Insular
Caribbean Project - Caribbean Regional Project
TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR RESEARCH ASSISTANT
Management & Control of the Lionfish, Pterois volitans and Pterois miles in
Jamaica
1.0 PURPOSE OF REGIONAL PROJECT
The purpose of the terms of reference is to set out the responsibilities of the Research
Assistant for the Lionfish Pilot over the life of the GEF/UNEP/CABI‐MTIASIC Project.
The overall goal and objective respectively, are:
A. To conserve globally important ecosystems, species and genetic biodiversity
within Jamaica
B. To mitigate threat to local biodiversity and economy from IAS including
terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems.
2.0 BACKGROUND TO REGIONAL PROJECT
Invasive Alien Species (IAS) are a major threat to the vulnerable marine, freshwater and
terrestrial biodiversity. IAS are a major interest to the Island of Jamaica as they pose a
direct threat to the high level of biodiversity the Island enjoys. Jamaica’s industries are
centred on the country’s biodiversity. As such a decrease in biodiversity threatens the
livelihood of fishers, farmers, and persons employed to the tourism industry. Negative
impact on these industries as a result of IAS will result in a significant reduction in
Jamaica’s gross domestic product (GDP). The project objective is to mitigate the threat to
local biodiversity and economy from IAS. This will be achieved through five main
initiatives: increasing the national capacity to address potential risks posed to
biodiversity of global significance from invasive alien species; increasing regional
cooperation to reduce risk posed to biodiversity of global significance from invasive
alien species; strengthening access to data and establishment of best practice, and public
awareness of IAS; increasing capacity to strengthen prevention of new IAS
introductions; and increased capacity to respond, control and manage IAS impacting
globally significant biodiversity. The fifth initiative includes the implementation of pilot
projects to control and manage the spread of the Lionfish (Pterois volitans and Pterois
miles) in Jamaica; protection of the endemic Jamaican Iguana through monitoring and
selective eradication of predators; and control and management of the Melalucea (Paper
Bark Tree) in the Lower Black River Morass.
Amongst the major outputs of the project are:
1. Development of National IAS Strategy
2. Establishment of Caribbean‐wide Cooperation and Strategy
3. Knowledge generation, management and dissemination
4. Increase capacity to strengthen prevention of new IAS introduction in terrestrial,
freshwater, and marine systems
5. Increase capacity to detect, respond, control and manage IAS impacts in
terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems
The Project is being implemented by the National Environment and Planning Agency
(NEPA) through its Strategic Planning, Policies and Projects (SPP&P) Division. A Project
Implementation Unit (PIU) is established in this Division. The PIU works closely with
the officers of the Ecosystems Management and Protected Areas Branches of NEPA for
technical guidance.
3.0 PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The activities being undertaken to meet Project objective and fulfill output requirements
are as follows:

▪ Early detection and rapid response procedures for management of nascent
infestation
▪ Managing priority alien species invasions in pilot sites to ensure conservation
and sustainable use of biodiversity
PILOT PROJECT /TARGET AREAS

Volunteers Needed- Beach Restoration on the Cameron Shoreline
See http://crcl.org/
Date: Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 10:51 AM
Subject: Volunteers Needed- Beach Restoration on the Cameron Shoreline
| The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana and the Gulf Coast Soil and Water Conservation District invite you to participate in a 3-day beach restoration event on the Cameron shoreline at Constance Beach. The beach borders and protects acres of marsh habitat and is being threatened by erosion caused by the Gulf of Mexico. In an effort to restore this area, we will plant 15,000 plugs of bitter panicum and seashore paspalum which will assist in the stability and growth of dunes on the beach.. In addition, the project will also create wildlife habitat, increase species diversity and provide a seed source for natural regeneration.
This project is being completed through partnerships with Cheniere Energy, NOAA’s Community-Based Restoration Program, Restore America's Estuaries, Gulf Coast Soil and Water Conservation District, Louisiana Vegetative Planting Program, and the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana.
Where: Constance Beach on the Cameron shoreline (maps will be sent to volunteers prior to the event)
When: September 16, 17 and 18, 2010 9:00 am to approximately 3:30 pm
We are also looking for volunteer 4-wheelers and trailers. If you are able to volunteer this equipment, please email coalition@crcl.org. All planting equipment (gloves, shovels, dibbles, etc.) will be provided. Sunscreen and insect repellant are recommended and will be provided. Lunch and drinks will also be provided to all volunteers.
Note: This project requires outdoor physical activity and volunteers should expect to get dirty. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
All volunteers must be registered online or call the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana at (888)-LACOAST. Additional information, including directions to the project site, will be provided to registered volunteers via email prior to the event. |
