Divisions - Research
Division Overview
The Center is organized into five Science Divisions and a Science Directorate:
Generally speaking, programs administered by the
divisions focus on narrower areas of research within a division's specialty. Researchers work in teams within these programs on various research projects and studies.
Collaborative projects are conducted in partnership with other divisions or organizations, i.e. The Cumulative Risk Initiative.
More information about the Center research programs, teams and projects can be obtained from NWFSC Science Issue Papers or by visiting the division/program/project home pages available from
the links listed below:
The Conservation Biology (CB) Division studies the processes that maintain biological
diversity so that diversity can be sustained in the face of unprecedented human impacts.
The Division also conducts analyses to guide the recovery of animal species already placed
at risk by human impacts. The programs in the CB division are:
The Environmental Conservation Division investigates the impacts of anthropogenic and natural perturbations (e.g., chemical contaminants and harmful algal blooms) on fishery resources, protected species, and the quality of marine habitat.
The programs in the EC division are:
The Fishery Resource Analysis and Monitoring Division provides the scientific basis for
determination of ecologically safe and economically valuable harvest levels for West Coast
fisheries. The programs in the FRAM division are:
The Fish Ecology Division focuses on understanding the complex ecological linkages between commercially and recreationally important marine and anadromous fishery resources of the Pacific Northwest and their habitats.
The programs in the FE division are:
The Resource Enhancement and Utilization Technologies Division resolves existing and developing challenges associated with captive rearing, disease control, hatchery technology, smolt quality, and utilization research.
The programs/project teams in the REUT division are:
The Office of the Science Director provides overall leadership and coordination
for the Center's science programs. The Office of the Science Director
also oversees collaborative partnerships and manages small scientific programs
in emerging areas.
The following projects are conducted in partnership with other divisions or organizations:
