Environmental and Fisheries Sciences (EFS)

We assess and study ways to reduce natural and human-caused impacts on environmental and human health, and to promote sustainable wild-caught and hatchery-raised fisheries.

We examine environmental conditions and the impacts of chemical contaminants, marine biotoxins, and pathogens on fish, protected species, habitat quality, seafood safety, and human health.

We maintain the expertise to respond quickly to environmental emergencies from the release of toxic materials into the environment.
