Key Education, Research, and Technical Assistance Needs

The Northwest Forest Service Center’s main scientific goal is to provide robust scientific information supporting the effective management of marine, coastal and diadromous living marine resources. The Center conducts a wide range of research that includes scientific disciplines from physiology to stock assessment to geomorphology. Likely areas for which NWFSC would seek partnerships include:

Research:

• Ecological research supporting ecosystem approaches to management of marine and coastal systems, with a particular focus on fisheries and imperiled species
• Socioeconomic research aimed at ecosystem service valuation, community descriptions, etc.
• Development of novel sampling technology and techniques
• Investigations of impacts of marine, estuarine and coastal systems, and condition on human health and well-being

Technical Assistance and Education:

• Continuing education opportunities (workshops and short courses to advanced degree work)
• Technical transfer and exchange of novel technologies, information and research approaches.
