Migrated from Environmental Conservation Division

The Environmental Conservation Division investigates the impacts of anthropogenic and natural perturbations (e.g., chemical contaminants and harmful algal blooms) on fishery resources, protected species, and the quality of marine habitat. Results are used regionally and nationally to determine scientifically sound approaches for conserving living marine resources, restoring habitat productivity and function, assessing the impacts of toxic substances on the health and safety of fishery resources, and responding to environmental emergencies from the release of toxic materials. The Division integrates field and laboratory studies on marine mammals, fish, and shellfish to determine quantitative relationships between toxic substances and impaired habitat function. An emerging research area is development of technology, through cooperative efforts, to reduce environmental contamination (e.g., in-situ bioremediation).
