This award provides funding from the POWRE program to allow Dr. Wright to expand her research interests into coastal studies, where her expertise in GIS systems can be applied to a greater range of scientific projects than in the deep sea. In order to accomplish this shift in research focus, Dr. Wright requests funding to apply her GIS expertise to coral reef ecosystem studies currently being conducted by the Sustainable Seas Expeditions (SSE) and the National Marine Sactuaries System. The PI will develop a database system for the Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary (FBNMS) which is located in America Samoa. She picked the FBNMS because studies of this site are just beginning and, therefore, her GIS expertise could be an integral part of plans for data collection. The PI proposes to 1) establish a comprehensive, web-accessible data clearinghouse, with GIS maps, and data layers that can be made available to the FBNMS collaborators, 2) develop a spatial analytical procedures for ecological characterization of the coral reef, which will help to establish future survey, monitoring and management protocols, and 3) develop a brief exploration of information space modeling as a way to augment the content and accessibility of the data clearinghouse.

该奖项由POWRE项目提供资金，使赖特博士能够将她的研究兴趣扩展到沿海研究，在沿海研究中，她在地理信息系统方面的专业知识可以应用于比深海更广泛的科学项目。为了完成这一研究重点的转移，赖特博士申请资金，将她的地理信息系统专业知识应用于珊瑚礁生态系统研究，目前正由可持续海洋探险(SSE)和国家海洋精算师系统进行。国际海洋研究所将为位于美属萨摩亚的法加特利湾国家海洋保护区开发一个数据库系统。她选择了FBNMS，因为对这个网站的研究才刚刚开始，因此，她的地理信息系统专业知识可能是数据收集计划中不可或缺的一部分。国际和平倡议建议：1)建立一个全面的、可上网的数据交换中心，其中有地理信息系统地图和可供FBNMS协作者使用的数据层；2)制定珊瑚礁生态特征的空间分析程序，这将有助于制定未来的调查、监测和管理协议；3)对信息空间建模进行简要探索，以增加数据交换中心的内容和可获取性。
