Narragansett Laboratory, NOAA Fisheries

The Narragansett Laboratory conducts research on the effects of changing oceanographic and ecological conditions on the productivity and health of the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf ecosystem in relation to the recovery of depleted fish stocks. Studies are also conducted on the demography and ecology of shark populations in response to oceanographic conditions to provide information for shark management plans for sustaining those populations. The studies are conducted in support of two major objectives of NOAA's Strategic Plan - Build Sustainable Fisheries and Sustain Healthy Coasts.
