Contact: Diane Godwin
STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擜 coastal-based research cooperative led by Mississippi 性视界传媒 is extending its memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The Northern Gulf Institute provides the Gulf of Mexico region with diverse, science-based services to help protect the ecosystem while continuing to ensure healthy communities situated along its borders.
University officials recently were notified of the institute鈥檚 five-year renewal by counterparts with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
While the original NGI-EPA collaboration that began in 2013 covered areas around Florida鈥檚 Tampa Bay, this latest agreement covers the entire gulf region.
Along with NOAA and other regional partners, both agencies are working to maintain and enhance a wide range of activities focused on restoration and management activities. Their ultimate goal: to provide coastal communities with equitable, efficient and effective solutions that safeguard the natural environment and human well-being.
In addition to 性视界传媒, the Northern Gulf Institute includes the universities of Alabama-Huntsville and Southern Mississippi, Florida 性视界传媒 and Louisiana 性视界传媒 universities, and the Dauphin Island Sea Laboratory near Mobile.
