  • Description:
    NOAA Ocean Exploration is dedicated to exploring the unknown ocean through scientific discovery, technological advancements, partnerships, and efficient data delivery. One mechanism NOAA Ocean Exploration uses to address this mission is by funding projects through its annual competitive grant program. Since 2001, the NOAA Ocean Exploration competitive grant program has supported more than 280 projects across themes including ocean exploration, technology, and maritime heritage. Through the competitive grant program, NOAA Ocean Exploration has funded diverse partners, including individuals across academia, private sector, tribal and Indigenous communities, and governmental entities, to fill gaps in our understanding of the ocean and Great Lakes. By using diverse tools and technologies to explore previously unexplored areas of the ocean, competitive grant recipients have developed technologies and workflows to advance ocean sensing for a range of topics. Examples of recent projects include the development of novel in situ sensors (e.g., nitrogen and methane) in addition to advancements to technologies and workflows for environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses, including the development of an in situ water collection system for sampling microbes and eDNA from depths below 8,000 meters, and designing a framework for eDNA metabarcoding as a standard ocean exploration tool by quantifying, predicting, and testing the temporal persistence of eDNA in deep-sea environments. Additional projects supported by NOAA Ocean Exploration's competitive grant program have developed and used novel acoustics systems to monitor midwater environments, including developing a towed system outfitted with a side-looking, split-beam echosounder for high-resolution acoustic and environmental sampling of midwater biomass; using of glider-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) to detect and quantify midwater organism biomass and movement; and integrating high-resolution, wideband echosounders
