SEFSC Miami Facility
The Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) is headquartered in Miami, Fl.  The SEFSC is responsible for scientific research on living marine resources that occupy marine and estuarine habits of the continental southeastern United States, as well as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  The SEFSC is one of the five national marine fishery science centers responsible for federal marine fishery research programs.

In general, SEFSC develops the scientific information required for:

  • Fishery resource conservation,
  • Fishery development and utilization,
  • Habit conservation and
  • The Protection of Marine mammals and endangered species.

Impact analyses and environmental assessments for  management plans and international negotiations are also prepared, and research is pursued to address specific needs in population dynamics, fishery biology, fishery economics, engineering and gear development, and protected species biology.
