In the
Pacific Northwest, marine resources like salmon and
killer whales are an important part of our region. At
the Northwest Fisheries Science Center we try to answer
some of the most critical questions about the Pacific
Northwest's marine resources, like "how many yelloweyed rockfish are there?" and
"what habitats do they live in and need to survive?" Through its research, the
Center informs managers, helping them make important decisions about how best
to conserve, protect and recover these valuable resources so that they can
be wisely used by this and future generations.
The Center is an exciting place to work: there are many challenging questions
that need to be answered. Please read the short overview About the Center
to find out more about the Center and its studies. I hope it piques your interest.
