CSA Ocean Sciences Inc. (CSA) is pleased to announce the recent online publication in Marine Pollution Bulletin senior authored by Dr. Mark Fonseca, CSA Vice President - Science. Dr. Fonseca worked in collaboration with NOAA staff from both the NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science and the NOAA Fisheries Restoration Center/Damage Assessment, SW Region to research and draft the article “Susceptibility of seagrass to oil spills: A case study with eelgrass, Zostera marina in San Francisco Bay, USA.”
Engineering wave climate produces additional seagrass cover and in-kind services prior to anticipated project-related effects
CSA Ocean Sciences Inc. (CSA) has been contracted by the State of North Carolina Department of Transportation to conduct novel seagrass enhancement using the manipulation of wind wave energy to provide new and sustained seagrass acreage in anticipation of unavoidable impacts. The Bonner Bridge, which connects Pea and Bodie islands at the Oregon Inlet, is a lifeline for tourism and tropical storm evacuation of the North Carolina northern outer banks—has reached its engineering limits and is slated for replacement. The least impact estimated from the new bridge alignment still requires the recovery of no less than 1.28 acres of highly productive seagrasses (eelgrass [Zostera marina] and shoalgrass [Halodule wrightii]).
CSA Ocean Sciences Inc. (CSA) continues to rise to challenges faced by the international oil and gas industry to identify, minimize, and mitigate environmental risk associated with offshore exploration and production activities. CSA announces its international venture in Perth, Australia, which will integrate the company’s international network of marine environmental consulting services with the risk management expertise of Ms. Sarah Watson the regional director and native Australian with extensive global experience in the oil and gas industry.
