The most comprehensive, ongoing program exploring marine resources and oceanographic conditions in the Northwest Atlantic. Our analyses inform local and international fisheries management, protected species research, and climate science.
The gear library is a collection of on-demand or “ropeless” systems, built with help and contributions from governmental, non-governmental, and academic organizations, that we lend to fishermen for testing.
We work closely with the commercial fishing industry to reduce the risk of harmful interactions with marine mammals, turtles, and other protected species listed under the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
Technological advances in three imaging techniques have opened the door to advanced morphological analyses and habitat mapping for biologists and ecologists.
Water temperature affects many species' spawning times, access to food, growth rates, and overall range. Collecting temperature data helps better understand species’ habitats and the larger ecosystem. This page will update 3x/week throughout the survey.

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.
