Simulating Cod Management Alternatives
Atlantic cod in U.S. waters are managed as two distinct stocks. Recently, however, an interdisciplinary review revealed that the current stock boundaries do not align …

Improving Lobster Distribution Models
We are advancing models to describe observed patterns and project lobster distribution and abundance under changing ecosystem conditions. Our work will also synthesize results from …

Monitoring Pollution with Mussels
To construct more complete maps of human-associated nitrogen loading to our marine ecosystems, we measure nitrogen stable isotopes in mussels from numerous coastal sites. This …

Northeast Climate Integrated Modeling (NCLIM)
Transforming fisheries' decision-making processes from dependent on historical observations to more a forward-looking process will require interdisciplinary research efforts that advance our knowledge and understanding …

Evaluating the Importance of Chub Mackerel in the Diet of Highly Migratory Species
Our project seeks to investigate the foraging ecology of marlins (blue, white, round-scale spearfish) and tunas (bigeye, yellowfin) along the East Coast to identify the …

Groundfish Management Strategy Evaluation
The impacts of climate change on marine fisheries resources are increasing. Some groundfish stocks, such as Georges Bank cod, have declined to record-low biomass in …

Atlantic Salmon in a Changing Northwest Atlantic Ecosystem
Atlantic salmon populations in North America and Europe have declined dramatically in recent decades, threatening the viability of many populations. Key drivers in the Northwest …
