FLOWER GARDEN BANKS NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY (FGBNMS) SUPPORTS A UNIQUE AND THRIVING CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEM AND SERVES AS A SAFE HAVEN FOR WILD CORAL COMMUNITIES IN THE GULF OF AMERICA (GOA), FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE SCLERACTINIAN CORAL COMMUNITIES IN FGBNMS HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS SOME OF THE HEALTHIEST IN THE TROPICAL WESTERN ATLANTIC AND ARE THE TARGETED NATURAL RESOURCES OF THIS STUDY. EVEN THOUGH THESE REEFS HAVE DEMONSTRATED REMARKABLE RESILIENCE TO ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS TO DATE, THEY ARE EXPERIENCING INCREASED BLEACHING FREQUENCY, LOCALIZED MORTALITY EVENTS, AND DISEASE OUTBREAKS, WITH MODELS SUGGESTING THAT THE SHALLOW CORAL REEFS (<30 M) WILL BE EXPOSED TO SEVERE THERMAL STRESS EVERY YEAR BY 2040. IN RESPONSE TO THESE CHANGING OCEAN CONDITIONS, THIS COLLABORATIVE PROJECT (LED BY THE NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGERS OF FGBNMS) PROPOSES TO TRACK LONG-TERM TRENDS IN FGBNMS CORAL COMMUNITIES, EVALUATE STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT REEF RESILIENCE, AND BUILD UNDERSTANDING OF WATER QUALITY IN THE REGION. DATA BUOYS WILL CONTINUOUSLY MONITOR SEA STATE, TEMPERATURE, AND DISSOLVED OXYGEN AT THE SURFACE AND AT DEPTH, WHILE BENTHIC SURVEY METHODS (PHOTOGRAMMETRY) AND CARBONATE CHEMISTRY INSTRUMENT PLATFORMS WILL PROVIDE THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELS TO ENHANCE TRACKING OF CORAL HEALTH, BIODIVERSITY, REEF STRUCTURE, AND CARBONATE BUDGETS. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO EMPLOY EX SITU THERMAL STRESS AND CALCIFICATION EXPERIMENTS TO EVALUATE RESILIENCE POTENTIAL OF SHALLOW AND UPPER MESOPHOTIC CORALS, AS WELL AS IN SITU SAMPLING TO QUANTITATIVELY EVALUATE GENOTYPE PERFORMANCE ACROSS SITES AND DEPTH ZONES WITH RESPECT TO GAMETE DEVELOPMENT, FECUNDITY-INDUCED SEX CHANGES, SURVIVORSHIP, AND CORAL STRESS PHYSIOLOGY. THESE EXPERIMENTS AND FIELD SAMPLING EFFORTS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A TARGETED GENE BANKING APPROACH WITH AQUARIUM PARTNERS THAT MAXIMIZES GENETIC BIODIVERSITY WHILE IDENTIFYING CORAL GENOTYPES THAT MAY BE RESISTANT AND/OR RESILIENT TO BLEACHING AND/OR DISEASE. MOREOVER, A FINAL DELIVERABLE OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE A COMPREHENSIVE FGBNMS REEF RESILIENCE AND ADAPTATION STRATEGY TO ENSURE PREPAREDNESS FOR FUTURE RESTORATION EFFORTS OF GOA CORALS. BY BUILDING THIS NEW CAPACITY AND ADDRESSING THESE CRITICAL QUESTIONS, FGBNMS CAN BE PREPARED TO RESPOND TO FUTURE THREATS AND AID OTHER GOA SITES THROUGH ASSISTED MIGRATION OF CORALS FOR RESTORATION.

THE RIDGES SANCTUARY (TRS) IS A NON-PROFIT NATURE CENTER AND PRESERVE LOCATED IN BAILEYS HARBOR, WISCONSIN. FOUNDED TO PRESERVE THE ORIGINAL 30-ACRE PARCEL, THE RIDGES HAS GROWN THOUGHTFULLY AND STRATEGICALLY TO ENSURE THE PROTECTION OF THE MOST BIOLOGICALLY DIVERSE ECOSYSTEM IN WISCONSIN. NEARLY 500 DIFFERENT SPECIES OF PLANTS, INCLUDING 29 SPECIES OF NATIVE ORCHIDS, POPULATE THESE VARIED HABITATS, WHICH ARE ALSO HOME TO OVER 60 SPECIES OF BREEDING BIRDS AND 12 THREATENED OR ENDANGERED SPECIES.DWARF LAKE IRIS (IRIS LACUSTRIS) IS A RARE, SMALL IRIS SPECIES OF THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION, WHERE IT GROWS PRIMARILY ALONG THE EDGES OF SHORELINE FOREST AND DUNE HABITATS IN CLOSE ASSOCIATION WITH OR PROXIMITY TO OTHER RARE COASTAL SPECIES. THIS ATTRACTIVE SHORELINE SPECIES IS AMONG THE BEST KNOWN OF ALL THE ENDANGERED AND THREATENED PLANTS OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION, WHERE IT HAS BECOME A SYMBOL OF PLANT RARITY AND CONSERVATION IN BOTH MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN.THOUGH IT IS RELATIVELY COMMON ON THE DOOR PENINSULA, THERE EXISTS SEVERAL THREATS OF MAJOR CONCERN FOR THE HEALTH OF THE POPULATION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO HABITAT LOSS FROM DEVELOPMENT, FOREST SUCCESSION, DISRUPTION OF NATURAL SHORELINE FORMATION, AND CLIMATE CHANGE. I. LACUSTRIS NUMBERS HAVE BEEN DECREASING AT TRS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES DUE TO FOREST ENCROACHMENT AND LOSS OF NATURAL SHORELINE AND DUNE HABITAT DEVELOPMENT. COUPLED WITH TREE REMOVAL REQUIRED FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE BAILEYS HARBOR RANGE LIGHTS, TRS AIMS TO IMPLEMENT A RESTORATION PROJECT TO STUDY THE CURRENT DLI POPULATIONS IN THE RIDGES SANCTUARY STATE NATURAL AREA, DEVELOP A LONG-TERM GOAL OF EXPANDING EXTANT POPULATIONS, AND OPPORTUNISTICALLY OUTPLANT TO OTHER AREAS OF THE SANCTUARY THAT ALREADY CONTAIN SUITABLE HABITAT FOR DLI. MANIPULATION OF FOREST CONDITIONS, INCLUDING TREE REMOVAL AND CANOPY THINNING, WILL BE CONDUCTED BASED ON COLLECTED DATA TO MIMIC HISTORIC DISTURBANCE REGIMES THAT PROMOTE IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR DLI, THE INTENDED OUTCOME BEING INCREASED LIGHT AVAILABILITY.METHODOLOGY FOR DLI RESTORATION WILL FOLLOW PROTOCOLS TRS HAS ESTABLISHED THROUGH ITS ORCHID RESTORATION PROJECT. THE FUNDAMENTAL IDEA IS TO CREATE A BASELINE DATA SET PRIOR TO FOREST MANIPULATION. THE INITIAL EXTANT POPULATION WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED AND SERVE AS THE PROJECT CONTROL. THE SIX RESEARCH PLOTS REPRESENT ONE PLOT WHERE NO EXTANT POPULATION AUGMENTATION TAKES PLACE, ONE PLOT WHERE EXTANT POPULATION TAKES PLACE, AND FOUR RESEARCH PLOTS WITH VARYING CANOPY COVERAGE, WHICH ALSO IMPACTS SOIL MOISTURE AND TEMPERATURE. THE INHERENT SOILS IN THE RESEARCH AREA ARE RELATIVELY HOMOGENEOUS. THROUGH MONITORING THE LISTED PARAMETERS, NUMERICAL DATA WILL BE GATHERED ON, PARTICULARLY, LIGHT-TEMPERATURE-SOIL MOISTURE PARAMETERS AND SEXUAL REPRODUCTION SUCCESS IN I. LACUSTRIS. USING THIS INFORMATION WILL PROVIDE PARAMETERS FOR TRANSLOCATING I. LACUSTRIS INTO NUMEROUS AREAS FOR POPULATION REFUGIA.

THE MARINE TURTLE CONSERVATION FUND IS SOLICITING PROPOSALS FOR THE CONSERVATION OF MARINE TURTLES (CHELONIA MYDAS, CARETTA CARETTA, DERMOCHELYS CORIACEA, ERETMOCHELYS IMBRICATA, LEPIDOCHELYS OLIVACEA, LEPIDOCHELYS KEMPII) THROUGHOUT THEIR RANGE OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES AND ITS TERRITORIES. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ENACTED THE MARINE TURTLE CONSERVATION ACT (MTCA) OF 2004 IN RESPONSE TO THE DECLINE OF MANY MARINE TURTLE POPULATIONS WORLDWIDE AND THE SERIOUS THREATS TO THEIR LONG-TERM SURVIVAL. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE ACT IS TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR PROJECTS THAT CONSERVE NESTING POPULATIONS AND HABITAT AND ADDRESS OTHER THREATS TO THE SURVIVAL OF MARINE TURTLES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO REDUCE THREATS TO MARINE TURTLES IN THEIR NATURAL HABITAT. PROPOSALS SHOULD IDENTIFY SPECIFIC CONSERVATION ACTIONS THAT HAVE A HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF CREATING LASTING BENEFITS. PROJECT ACTIVITIES THAT EMPHASIZE DATA COLLECTION AND STATUS ASSESSMENT SHOULD DESCRIBE A DIRECT LINK TO MANAGEMENT ACTION, AND EXPLAIN HOW LACK OF INFORMATION HAS BEEN A KEY LIMITING FACTOR FOR MANAGEMENT ACTION IN THE PAST. PROPOSALS THAT DO NOT IDENTIFY HOW ACTIONS WILL REDUCE THREATS OR THAT DO NOT DEMONSTRATE A STRONG LINK BETWEEN DATA COLLECTION AND MANAGEMENT ACTION WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. PROPOSED PROJECT WORK SHOULD OCCUR WITHIN THE SPECIES RANGE, OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES. IF WORK IS TO BE CONDUCTED OUTSIDE OF THE SPECIES RANGE, THE PROPOSAL SHOULD SHOW A CLEAR RELEVANCE TO ITS CONSERVATION.
