THIBODAUX, La. — Nicholls State University<\/a> will receive $495,368 from the Restore Act Center of Excellence for Louisiana to help coastal scientists better understand coastal ridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers will use the grant money to categorize the ecological attributes of the ridges to help coastal scientists design future ridge restoration and management projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority<\/a> selected the Water Institute of the Gulf<\/a> as its center of excellence in 2015. In this role, the Water Institute administers competitive grants to assist research that reinforces the state\u2019s Coastal Master Plan. Fines and penalties from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill distributed through the Restore Act provide the funding for the grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicholls\u2019 proposal was one of eight projects, totaling $2.3 million, selected from 20 submissions, marking the first time university researchers have received Restore Act money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis funding is recognition of the strong reputation of Nicholls scientists and students and the important coastal work they\u2019ve been conducting over the years,\u201d said Dr. John Doucet<\/a>, dean of the College of Science and Technology<\/a> and director of coastal initiatives<\/a>. \u201cThis grant award is a win for Nicholls and the Coastal Center<\/a>, but it is also a win for the communities of the Terrebonne-Lafourche-Barataria region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers will study ridges and similar man-made structures in the Barataria-Terrebonne estuary. They will note ecological factors such as physical features, plants, wildlife and carbon sequestration. The research will also describe the socioeconomic roles the ridges play in the Bayou Region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Jonathan Willis<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur understanding of how ridges function and the ecological and sociological communities they support is limited,\u201d said Dr. Jonathan Willis<\/a>, assistant professor of biological sciences<\/a>. \u201cBy resolving targeted data gaps and providing conceptual models of ridge function, we can facilitate planning for coastal ridge restoration projects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faculty, undergraduate and graduate students from an array of departments including biology, geomatics, English and history and geography will contribute to the research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, they will conduct field surveys, drone imaging, lab analysis, historical reviews and community interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research will start this fall and continue through 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am proud that Nicholls State University continues to contribute meaningfully to the management and restoration of the Louisiana Coast,\u201d Willis said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mission of the RESTORE Act Center of Excellence for Louisiana (LA-COE) is to provide research directly relevant to the implementation of Louisiana\u2019s Coastal Master Plan by administering a competitive grants program and providing the appropriate coordination and oversight support to ensure that success metrics are tracked and achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Water Institute of the Gulf is an independent, non-profit, applied research institution advancing science and developing integrated methods to solve complex environmental and societal challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
