The award provides funds to develop a prototype mini acoustically tracked drogue. The drogue is being developed in response to the need to understand the patterns and mechanisms of larval transport, identified as a priority by the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) workshop participants in January 02. The PI has looked at currently available drogues and has determined that they are not suitable because of their size and limited ability to supply positional information while submerged. The PI plans to research, design, fabricate, and test the prototype mini-drogue. If successful, the proposed instrument would provide insights into aspects of the nearshore circulation such as sub-surface parcel trajectories connecting offshore coastal circulation features to shallow water habitats near shore and will significantly advance our understanding of how coastal circulation processes deliver larvae to coastal ecosystems.

该奖项提供资金，以发展一个原型的小型声跟踪锥。目前正在开发锥管，以满足了解幼虫运输模式和机制的需要，这是沿海海洋跨学科研究伙伴关系（皮斯科）2002年1月讲习班与会者确定的优先事项。PI已经研究了目前可用的锥管，并确定它们不合适，因为它们的尺寸和在水下提供位置信息的能力有限。PI计划研究，设计，制造和测试原型微型锥套。如果成功的话，拟议的仪器将提供见解的方面，如近海岸流通次表面包裹轨迹连接近海沿海流通功能，浅水栖息地附近的海岸，并将大大提高我们的理解，沿海流通过程如何提供幼虫到沿海生态系统。
