(Woods Hole, MA, February, 14, 2024) – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Sea Grant announces funding for five new research projects that address pressing coastal issues in and around Massachusetts, including eelgrass restoration, sewering’s impact on water quality, contaminants of emerging concern in watersheds, collaborative data collection with fishermen, and homeowners’ perceptions of flood risk.

"As a strong supporter of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Sea Grant program, I am excited to see the newest round of funded projects, the findings of which will improve our understanding of our coastal environment and communities," said Congressman Bill Keating. "I commend Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Sea Grant for selecting a group of projects that focuses on a variety of the high-priority issues we face here in Southeastern Massachusetts: the protection of our coastal ecosystems, the expansion of sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, and creating resilient communities and economies along the coast of the Commonwealth.”
