Established in 2003 the laboratory serves to promote research on the large pelagic species of the Atlantic including the tunas, billfish, sharks and sea turtles. Research is directed towards filling current gaps in knowledge on these top ocean predators and valuable marine resources. Specific efforts are geared towards improving current satellite tracking technologies as well as addressing questions concerning biology, population dynamics and ecosystem dynamics. The long term goals of our research are to establish comprehensive information on highly migratory Atlantic species that can lead to improved fisheries management and stock rebuilding. Please see the Large Pelagics Research Center's website for information on our competitive grants and educational programs.
