Conservation Biology Division Mission Statement
Working in the DNA lab at NWFSC's Montlake campus
|
The Conservation Biology Division focuses on the preservation of the
biological diversity found in the living marine resources. Many of
the challenges society faces regarding biodiversity and the protection
of endangered species require the development of novel approaches for
determining how human and natural factors influence the viability of
marine species. To meet these challenges, the Division has assembled
a group of biologists from a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines,
including risk analysis, genetics, evolutionary biology, ecology and
population biology. As a group, the CB Division is dedicated to
conducting the research necessary to help address critical
conservation needs, with the primary focus on the recovery of
ESA-listed Pacific salmon populations and other depressed marine
species.
More information about specific Conservation Biology Division research programs can be found
in the Issue Papers.
