The majority of sharks harvested in the United States are species with above-target population levels. And we have rebuilding plans for all overfished species.
We contribute to the understanding of the effects of climate change and climate variability on pelagic fisheries, with a primary focus on the ecology of fishes living in the California Current Ecosystem and other forage species.
Our team performs stock assessments and studies demersal communities and habitat assemblages to ensure sustainable and effective management of marine ecosystems.
