TSI Project
NOAA Fisheries Aquaculture Office
TSI is currently supporting the development of an environmental assessment for an aquaculture grant project. Specifically, TSI is preparing the economic impact analysis that would include modeling efforts to estimate the future number of jobs and revenue from the operations of the Proposed Action. The economic impact analysis evaluates costs associated with equipment; costs associated with fingerlings, feeds, and other consumables during the growouts; operations cost throughout the growout phase including items, such as fuel, labor, and routine vessel service; information from product sales and market price; and costs associated with compliance and permitting. For this project TSI is also developing a breakeven analysis, and developing projections for profit, scalability, and feasibility.
TSI Project
NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center
TSI is currently supporting the NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center by updating a recreational fishing statistical model toolbox. The current recreational fishing model is used by the Northeast Fishery Management Council to decide and implement management measures for recreational fisheries in New England and the Mid-Atlantic. TSI is modifying the existing R code for efficiency and modularity by reprogramming it to employ vectorization, functions, and other approaches to make the code quicker and more versatile and creating a graphic user interface for reporting capabilities. When finished, the code will be deployed through the NOAA Fisheries Integrated Toolbox so that it can be accessed and used for fisheries management actions.
TSI Project
NOAA Office of Sustainable Fisheries
TSI is currently providing records management support by developing policies and procedures (related to records management), improving organizational efficiency to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations regarding records management, and working with Federal Record Managers to develop and maintain a tracking system for records disposition in accordance with appropriate authority.

TSI Project
National Park Service
TSI is supporting the National Park Service with the Sanson Ranch Oral History Project at Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota, preserving firsthand accounts of the ranching heritage of the Black Hills. TSI’s responsibilities include transcribing and formatting eight oral history interviews, supporting interviewee review and corrections, coordinating consent and release forms, and preparing final materials in accordance with Oral History Association, Chicago Manual of Style, NPS formatting, archival, and federal records-management requirements.
TSI Project
NOAA Office of Science and Technology
TSI is providing administrative support, graphic design, web development, and editing/508 support to NOAA Fisheries. These services support NOAA Fisheries to communicate the scientific foundations behind management decisions to a variety of audiences and increase the scientific literacy and environmental stewardship of the American public.
