Through the summer and fall of 2020, project teams who received funding from the NOAA RESTORE Science Program in 2017 presented their results as a OneNOAA Science Seminar Series, entitled Actionable Science in the Gulf of Mexico. A total of fifteen research teams were awarded $16.7 million to support work on living coastal and marine resources and their habitats in the Gulf of Mexico. You can watch all of their recorded presentations below.
