Description
Project Overview: The 86,000-square-foot CoE is to be located at NOVA's Oceanographic Center and its National Coral Reef Institute (NCRI) on the ocean side of Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Funded in part by a grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) at a cost of over $30 million, the research facility is expected to create 22 new academic jobs and 300 construction jobs; employ 50 graduate students; and preserve 22 existing academic jobs. The CoE CRES will be the only research facility in the nation dedicated entirely to coral reef ecosystem science. Major goals include not only fundamental research, but also to finding management and conservation solutions to pressing coral reef issues.
