Food-web models represent a synthesis of knowledge of these dependencies and are a platform for evaluating the consequences of change in small pelagic fish productivity.
We study marine organisms and how they interact with their habitats and environments. Our research supports conservation, restoration, and management of fisheries habitats throughout the Southeast region.
We suggest developing context-specific diagnostic frameworks that acknowledge the full social-ecological system to move towards implementable solutions for value-based conservation conflicts.
The importance of resource managers articulating their own assumptions and values, and to work to understand the assumptions and values of those who may be affected by successful monk seal recovery efforts, to develop effective strategies that prevent and address conflict over this recovering endangered species.
The first systematic mark-recapture effort to assess the abundance and survival rates of highly exposed dolphins, providing valuable insights for conservation and management.
Learn about relative abundance indices for fish and shrimp from data collected during fishery-independent surveys conducted by the Southeast Fisheries Science Center and partners.
Exploring the potential connection between dFADs deployment areas and important oceanic or coastal critically endangered leatherback and hawskbill sea turtle habitats in the Pacific Ocean.
Our scientists conduct several annual field studies and surveys to collect data on a variety of species and habitats throughout the Southeast region of the United States.
