New Home for NGI Program Office Nearing Completion
Simultaneous with NGI launching this newly designed website, the Institute's Program Office is also on the move. Within the next couple of months NGI will be co-located with other research programs in the new Mississippi State University Science and Technology Center at the John C. Stennis Space Center, MS. The NOAA National Coastal Data Development Center will also be housed in the new facility. In addition, NOAA's renewal of the NGI cooperative agreement establishes a collaborative framework for research and education in the northern Gulf region for the next five years. NGI staff and related community are excited about this next phase and working to continue the mission to conduct research that builds an integrated, comprehensive understanding of natural and human impacts on northern Gulf of Mexico ecosystems and economies to improve its management.
The cooperative NGI spirit that began in 2006 has grown throughout the halls of the NGI member institutions, and resonates with the other important regional efforts addressing large issues in the Northern Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. The Gulf of Mexico Alliance, Sea Grant programs of the Gulf, the EPA Gulf of Mexico Program, and the NOAA Gulf of Mexico Regional Collaboration Team are just a few. The collaborations have led to protocols and data sharing that support the research, education and resource management of the Gulf ecosystem.
We invite all stakeholders vested in a vital and healthy northern Gulf of Mexico in realizing the goals of the recently adopted NGI Strategic Plan and working together toward improved conservation of the northern Gulf's resources. This new facility provides an excellent venue to collaborate on research, host conferences and workshops, present seminars and educational events that are relevant to the needs of northern Gulf stakeholders and resource managers.
