Shipboard Awards Significant funding for general ship operations and maintenance –Awards “clumped” on institutions who operate ships. –Most funding from GEO directorate Funding for specific projects –Wide variety of awardees

Island-based Awards We categorized each award as to whether it was specific to one Island or nation or whether it did work across a number of islands. We eliminated grants based in Hawaii that didn’t do work shipboard or on other Pacific Islands
