正文(英文) | Contact Information: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (February 28, 2020) — Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognized two organizations in Florida as recipients of South Florida Geographic Initiative (SFGI) Program grants. The grants are for projects that support protection and restoration of water quality, corals and seagrass in South Florida. “EPA is proud to support projects that will help address environmental needs and challenges in South Florida waters,” said EPA Region 4 Administrator Mary S. Walker. “EPA is proud to fund local projects that will restore habitats and foster environmental awareness.” “We are excited to use metabolomics approaches to decipher the contribution of the coral microbiome to the devastating stony coral tissue loss disease and the changing health of coral reefs in Florida," said Georgia Institute of Technology School of Chemistry and Biochemistry Assistant Professor Dr. Neha Garg. “FWC appreciates the support of EPA as we work with our partners to address the significant threat SCTLD poses to our coral reef ecosystem,” said Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute Director Gil McRae. “We also want to acknowledge the foresight and commitment shown by the FKNMS Water Quality Protection Program in making funding for coral disease response a high priority.” The SFGI grants include:
SFGI grants are used to fund South Florida Program projects for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Water Quality Protection Program, Southeast Florida Coral Reef Initiative, Caloosahatchee Estuary, Indian River Lagoon, Florida Bay and Biscayne Bay. The South Florida marine environment features world-class beaches, fishing and diving; highly-productive estuaries, extensive seagrass meadows, deep-water ports and the only coral barrier reef in the continental United States. These valuable natural resources provide for recreational and commercial fisheries, the multi-billion-dollar tourism economy, major shipping ports, and the millions of people residing along the coast.
