From pioneers to visionaries, our science center was built with brilliant minds, perseverance, and resilience. These are the giants on whose shoulders we stand.
In celebration of our 150th anniversary, we are highlighting people and activities that helped build the foundation of fisheries and marine science. The Woods Hole Laboratory is central to the story of today’s federal fish hatcheries.
In celebration of our 150th anniversary, we are highlighting people and activities that helped build the foundation of fisheries and marine science. Fish culture became a major focus of the U.S. Fish Commission almost from the start.
The focus on fish cultivation in the early days of NOAA Fisheries led to the idea of a floating hatchery as a practical way to spawn more fish. In 1879 the U.S. Fish Commission launched its first research vessel, the 156-foot steamer R/V Fish Hawk.
In celebration of our 150th anniversary, we are highlighting people and activities that helped build the foundation of fisheries and marine science. Baird Station, the first federal fish hatchery, set the stage for today's national fish hatchery system.
In celebration of our 150th anniversary, we are highlighting people who helped build the foundation of fisheries and marine science. Meet Paul S. Galtsoff, noted oyster researcher and skilled administrator who championed the Woods Hole Lab in tough times.
In celebration of our 150th anniversary, we are highlighting people who helped build the foundation of fisheries and marine science. Meet Ken Sherman, 60-year NOAA Fisheries employee, now retired but still working on global fisheries.
In celebration of our 150th Anniversary, we are highlighting some of the people who helped build the foundation of fisheries and marine science. Meet Victor Loosanoff, Russian refugee and shellfish science icon.
What started as ocean exploration in 1912 is now a broadly focused, long-term program. We supply critical information to climate research and predictions, fisheries and protected species management, and basic science.
