We investigate the effects of climate on fisheries and protected species in the California Current to understand their ecology better and inform management.
Using genetics, experimental fieldwork and computer modeling to determine whether rockfish species meet criteria and recovery goals of Endangered Species Act.
Quantifying historical fishing pressure on and population trends of rockfish in Puget Sound to determine listing status under the Endangered Species Act.
We used oceanographic modeling, acoustic tracking technology and stable isotope analyses to examine basic research questions for rockfish in Puget Sound.
Newsletters from the Fisheries Observation Science Program intended for our fisheries observers and associated individuals. The Word on the Waves newsletter features program news, profiles of our observers, seafood recipes, and more.
Our team performs stock assessments and studies demersal communities and habitat assemblages to ensure sustainable and effective management of marine ecosystems.
Our team uses population genetic data and analytical techniques to address a broad array of questions in ecology, evolution, behavior, conservation, and management of marine and anadromous species.
