Cooperative
Research Partners Initiative
The Northeast Regional Office of the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) developed the Cooperative Research
Partners Initiative to formalize and expand collaborative research
among New England's commercial fishing industry, marine science
and fishery management communities.

NMFS National
Standing Working Group on Fishing Technology
The mission of the NMFS National Working Group on Fishing Technology
is to promote the development and use of innovative technologies
and methodologies to reduce the impact of harvesting and recreational
gear on critical habitats and improve selectivity of fishing gear
by reducing bycatch and interaction with protected species.

Northeast
Cooperative Fisheries Research
These pages have been created to highlight cooperative fisheries
research conducted throughout the Northeast. The objective is to
present fisheries scientists and other fisheries user groups with
a sample of the types of cooperative research projects that are
taking place and to help make connections among investigators interested
in collaborative research.

Northeast Consortium
The Northeast Consortium encourages and funds
cooperative research and monitoring projects in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank that have effective, equal partnerships among fishermen, scientists, educators, and marine resource managers.

Alaska Fisheries Science Center Fisheries Behavioral
Ecology Research Program
The Fisheries Behavioral Ecology Program has developed unique laboratory tools and experimental protocols for studying the effects of fishing-related stressors on fish bycatch mortality. Fishing practices ordinarily involve allowing undersized and unwanted fish (bycatch) to escape from fishing gear (escapees) or to be returned to the sea (discards) after being brought onto a fishing vessel.
