project syntheses will be provided to the COP. A copy will be forwarded
to the NOAA Library Archives.

or indirectly, by this award should include the following acknowledgment:
"This paper is a result of research funded by the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Ocean Program under award (Grant

4. Investigators understand that the U.S. Government is authorized
to produce and distribute reprints for governmental purposes notwithstanding
any copyright notation.
5. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is

the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspects
of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing
this burden, to Leslie.McDonald@noaa.gov.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required
to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure
to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements
of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that collection displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
