The Resource Evaluation and Assessment Division plans and conducts
research aimed at: (1) developing information and providing scientific
advice on the current status and future trends in abundance and
productivity of living marine resources off the northeastern coast of
the United States; (2) evaluating economic and sociocultural impacts of
human interactions on fisheries, protected species, and marine
habitats; and (3) understanding the population/ecological dynamics of
marine mammal stocks [and other protected species] in the Northwest
Atlantic, and assessing/reducing anthropogenic impacts on these
populations.
