Material Transfer Agreements
Supply NOAA with materials formulated from naturally occurring biopolymers, which will be used for manufacturing test parts. Partners will then evaluate how these materials react when exposed to various ocean environments.
Provide software for the Moored Autonomous pCO2 System to support the development of a global network of carbon dioxide time-series observations.
Provide a powdered formulation of probiotic strain OY15 for oysters and perform hatchery-scale trials to test OY15’s effectiveness for improving survival of Pacific oyster larvae. Subsquently, shellfish industry partners Pacific Hybreed, Inc. and Cartron Point Shellfish will perform hatchery-scale trials to investigate the powdered probiotic’s effects on the survival of Pacific oyster larvae during the 2021 oyster spawning season.
