A small team of NOAA scientists have been in the Mariana Archipelago since the beginning July, completing a cooperative fish population and life history survey. Aboard the NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette, our scientists are working with local fishermen to survey the waters from Anatahan to Uracas. 

Meet the Scientists Behind the 2025 Mariana Islands Survey!

Want to know more about the mission? Come meet the marine scientists who’ve been tracking local fish populations and uncovering fish life cycles. Get a hands-on look at the tools they use, the data they’re collecting, and what it means for the future of our fisheries. Connect with the science happening in your own backyard!

Free, fun and for everyone!
