Quantitative Ecologist Evan Adams is the BRI lead on two NOAA RESTORE Projects; Restoration of Gulf of Mexico islands and beaches for wildlife: Reducing the uncertainty, and Designing effective stewardship and post-restoration management plans through co-production to protect vulnerable Gulf of Mexico coastal birds. These studies aim to engage stakeholders in the Gulf of Mexico to design both a research and monitoring plan for the topic area. For both of these projects, BRI will be helping to organize the stakeholder group, help the group determine its research objectives, and design the research framework.

NOAA’S RESTORE Science Program is intended to carry out research, observation, and monitoring that will support the long-term sustainability of the ecosystem, fish stocks, fish habitat, and the recreational, commercial, and charter-fishing industry in the Gulf of Mexico.
