Overarching Goal:
The Land Grant University consortium (LGU) will maintain and facilitate a network of faculty and extension personnel that assist state and federal partners in addressing coordination, communication, research, and outreach activities advancing the Gulf Hypoxia Action Plan. Activities will help: document and communicate progress towards nutrient reduction goals at state and basin scales including actions that involve climate co-benefits; support networks of state, tribal, and sub-basin stakeholders including disadvantaged communities, farmers, and watershed professionals; and advance the application of new research findings in support of nutrient reduction strategies.
SERA-46 values co-production approaches that engage stakeholders in developing, refining, and applying new research priorities and findings. This project will emphasize a co-production approach including efforts to engage under-represented and disadvantaged communities in partnership with states and Sub-Basin Committees (SBCs), recognizing the importance of and time involved in building sustainable and trusting relationships essential for this work. The project team anticipates summarizing and amplifying new information gained across states and communities and for various target audiences engaged in MARB conservation and nutrient management initiatives.
This project will last from January 2024 through December 2028.

Communication StrategyDocument and communicate nutrient reduction progress towards the goal at the basin scale to the public, particularly progress made by agricultural producers to implement conservation practices, including those with climate co-benefits, without federal and state financial assistance, which are often omitted from
current practice inventories. |
