NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) conducts directed fisheries research to conserve and manage living marine resources and their environment. Research topics include population biology and dynamics, resource assessment and environmental surveys, taxonomy, physical and biological oceanography, social sciences, data management, larval fish/plankton ecology, large marine ecosystems, aquaculture, biotechnology, remote sensing, protected species and apex predators.

Pending available funding, a limited number of summer positions will be offered throughout our laboratories which are located in Woods Hole, MA; Narragansett, RI; Milford, CT; Highlands, NJ; Washington, DC and Orono, ME.
