Protected Species Research Publications - Human Impacts
These publications cover a variety of issues resulting from human activities including bycatch in fisheries, previous human exploitation, exposure to toxins and pollution, habitat alterations, entanglement issues, and man-made ocean noise.
New Publication Highlights Whale Shark Movements in the Gulf of Mexico
According to scientists, there is still much to learn about this elusive animal.
Meet Dave Packer, Research Ecologist
Interning, volunteering, and working for several federal agencies have been important parts of Dave’s education and career. This includes being a park ranger, wilderness firefighter, and clinical research test subject.
Mako Shark Tracking off West Coast Reveals “Impressive” Memory and Navigation
These top predators travel far across the Pacific, returning to the same areas in the Southern California Bight each year.
Protected Species Research Publications - Behavior
These publications focus on what animals do and how they interact with each other and their environment. This includes both instinctive and learned behaviors such as movement, habitat use, predation, social interactions, and responses to other stimuli.
Autonomous Vehicles Powered by Ocean Waves Support NOAA Fisheries Research
Researchers are using wave-powered autonomous surface vehicles to assess ocean ecosystem health around the Hawaiian Islands.
Gulf of Maine Longline Surveys Target Species in Rocky Habitats
Each spring and fall, the Northeast Fisheries Science Center conducts a bottom trawl survey in federal waters from Cape Hatteras to the Canadian border. Some areas, like the rocky bottom habitats in the Gulf of Maine, require a special approach.
Vessel Monitoring Research
We use acoustic recordings from marine protected areas to monitor patterns of vessel presence and identify characteristics of potentially non-compliant vessels to aid local patrolling and enforcement efforts.
Conserving Skate Nursery Habitat In The Bering Sea
Ensuring a healthy ecosystem for sustainable fisheries.
Survival Research and Enhancement for Hawaiian Monk Seals
We focus on science-based conservation by developing effective tools and activities to mitigate threats to Hawaiian monk seal survival.
