ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The GRP would like to acknowledge and thank the numerous individuals who assisted and contributed to its work in 2020 as collaborators, advisors, participants in events and meetings, consensus studies, and grant and fellowship application reviewers—all of whom acted in a volunteer capacity. Without their efforts the work of the GRP would not be possible.
In addition, the GRP would like to offer a special thanks to its departing Division Committee Chair whose term ended in 2020: Dr. Jerry M. Melillo.
Thank you to this entire community of amazing people for their time, service, and dedication working for the benefit of communities and ecosystems in the Gulf and beyond.
