We are thrilled to announce that Blue Latitudes LLC has been awarded its first National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for our proposal titled "Advancing innovative convergence between fisheries and offshore energy to drive adaptive stewardship of fisheries habitat in a dynamic blue economy", as part of NSF's Networked Blue Economy (Track E) solicitation. Blue Latitudes will serve as Co-Principal Investigators (Co-PIs), alongside fellow Co-PIs from LSU, LGL Limited Ecologica...l Research Associates and Global Fishing Watch to accomplish the goals set forth by this two-year, $5 million dollar project. Ultimately, our project objective will be to accelerate convergence across two distinct ocean-related sectors, fisheries and offshore energy, thereby improving fisheries through habitat enhancement, furthering the understanding of artificial reef ecology and its role in fisheries support, and setting a precedent to invest in environmentally and socially responsible decision making for future offshore development on a national scale. Further, what makes our project unique is that we aim to broaden participation and access in the #STEM fields by establishing a workforce training program that will teach marketable STEM skills to formerly incarcerated citizens. Formerly incarcerated citizens face enormous challenges when attempting to reintegrate into society and these obstacles all too often lead to recidivism and a cycle of repeat incarceration. To help change this pattern, our project will employ these citizens to assist in processing underwater videos of marine life on oil platforms, exposing them to computer related skills that will translate into practical job-related capabilities. We are proud that our project will not only improve interactions between disconnected ocean-related sectors in the Blue Economy, but will also provide opportunities to engage and educate an overlooked and important demographic in the Gulf of Mexico region. We are honored to have been selected for this opportunity and believe that our team's dynamic qualifications, project goals and unique approach will enable us to advance the future of oil and gas decommissioning across a global scale while producing solutions that improve human engagement with oceans as both an environment and a resource. #convergenceaccelerator #blueeconomy #fisheresmanagement #RtR #GulfofMexico #NSF

The business imperatives to #diversity are clear. So why are we still experiencing significant diversity gaps both in general and within #IT and #Tech?
Blue Latitudes is excited to introduce the newest member of our team, Ami Everett ! Ami is a fisheries biologist, marine ecologist and environmental toxicologist . She received her B.S. in Biology from the University of North Georgia and a M.S. in Fisheries from Auburn University. Ami has extensive experience in acoustic telemetry, conventional fish tagging and conducting reef community surveys. She is also a PADI certified Advanced Open Water Diver. Previously, Ami worked in the northern Gulf of Mexico tracking fish around oil and gas platforms. She provided habitat use data of commercially important fish species to governmental agencies for future offshore decommissioning plans. This is where she learned the function of offshore structure as artificial reef habitat.
