We are working to better understand Alaska ocean ecosystems and to gather information to ensure healthy fish, crab, and marine mammal populations. We use innovative technologies to both monitor and study marine life and habitat.
We conduct research and monitoring surveys to better understand the physical, biological, economic, and social components of marine ecosystems found in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean from the Canadian Scotian Shelf to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
We tested on-demand (also called ropeless) fishing gear in state and federal waters that are closed to lobster and Jonah crab fishing that use static vertical lines.
