Research is essential to the overall mission and vision of the LMRCSC. Through its research, the LMRCSC trains future scientists, contributes to NOAA’s mission and supports the sustainable harvest and conservation of our nation’s living marine resources. Five key research themes drive the research conducted by scientists and students at the institutions who are part of the LMRCSC. This level of collaboration strengthens the research capacity of each institution and offers a collective multitude of intellectual and scientific resources, greater than what is available individually.
Research Vision
Diversity, innovation, and collaboration in the Marine Sciences
Research Mission
The Mission of research within the LMRCSC is to train world-class marine scientists who conduct innovative and collaborative research using a diversity of skills and approaches, in the following fields:
- Quantitative Fisheries
- Essential Fish Habitat
- Aquaculture
- Fisheries Socioeconomics
TAB Research Projects
Scientists from each of the LMRCSC partner institutions can submit proposals for research funding to the Technical Advisory Board (TAB). The board reviews the project proposals and recommends the top candidates for funding. Learn more about the current TAB-funded research projects, the funding process and past projects.
