NOAA’s Southeast Region is among the most complex and diverse regions in the United States. It spans three large marine ecosystems:

  • Gulf of Mexico
  • South Atlantic
  • Caribbean 

The Southeast Fisheries Science Center is headquartered in Miami, Florida and has facilities in Beaufort, North Carolina; Panama City, Florida; Pascagoula and Stennis, Mississippi; and Galveston, Texas. We also have researchers located in Lafayette, Louisiana, as well as port agents, fisheries observers and other staff stationed throughout the region.
