Extension and Outreach

As an extension program, one of our goals is to share research-based information with the public.

We attend and present at local events, classrooms, and workshops to connect with our community, and involve stakeholders in our research from start to finish. Ultimately, we strive to work alongside fishermen from all sectors to ensure the fishery resources we depend on are sustained for future generations.

About the Marine Fisheries Ecology Program

We are focused on providing science-based solutions to common issues affecting commercial and recreational fishermen in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Our research objectives are to better understand the abundance and distribution, life history (age and growth, maturity), movements and migrations, and feeding ecology of a wide range of important species, including coastal sharks, reef fishes, and coastal pelagics.
