Cooperative Research Programs at NEFSC
The Northeast
Fisheries Science Center is the science arm of NOAA in the Northeast.
The Center conducts an interdisciplinary program of marine research and analyses
important for proper management of the nation's living marine resources and
the ecosystems that support them. In recent years, this effort has included
a growing sector of data and experimentation which is collected and conducted
through cooperative research projects with academic and industry partners.
These programs, the Cooperative Black Sea Bass Tagging Project is an example,
not only provide unique data and insights, but also promote better communication
and understanding of how science relates to management decisions and the implementation
of natural resource policy.
Through public participation and cooperation
we are working together towards the mutual goal of maximizing the utilization
of our marine resources at a sustainable level. These projects have been
found to be a more efficient and effective way of collecting the data required
to survey the condition of these increasingly important resources. While
providing crucial data, they also provide a vital link of communication, promoting
trust and cooperation among the public sector and related government agencies.
