In partnership with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Office of Science and Technology, CPO's Coastal and Ocean Climate Applications (COCA) program competitively awarded seven grants projects in FY 2015 focused on increasing the understanding of climate-related impacts on fish stocks and fisheries.  The roughly $5 million in grants cover a two- to three-year time period.
