This interdisciplinary project explores blue crab biology and ecology in support of sustainable fisheries management.

Promoting healthy oyster reef ecosystems through sustainable harvest and restoration.

Research to inform conservation of River Herring in Chesapeake Bay

The goal of this project is to gain insight into population and community dynamics of fish and macro-invertebrates in a representative subestuary of the Chesapeake Bay

The goal of the Movement of Life Initiative is to develop the science, technology, and analytical tools and models to conserve and manage movement as a critical process for maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.

We identify parasites that reside in the Rhode River, track yearly changes in diversity and abundance, and determine their impacts on ecosystem function, population dynamics, and trophic interactions.

SERC scientists want to learn how land uses affect habitat for migratory herring in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
