Marine Ocean Engineering & Research Conservation
The Division of Marine Wildlife Conservation supports a staff of wildlife research biologists in order to collect information related to specific ecological questions or concerns. This information enables us to more effectively and responsibly manage and conserve wildlife populations and their habitats. Research projects cover a wide range of objectives, from collecting site-specific data for management decisions, to understanding the physiology of wildlife species and complex ecological relationships. Research efforts are generally developed and applied with the goal of maintaining or improving our ability to manage wildlife resources.
- We conduct research to:
- • Develop techniques to better understand and estimate the status and trends of wildlife populations
- • Improve our understanding of wildlife-habitat relationships
- • Improve our understanding of predator-prey relationships
- • Improve our understanding of the impacts of human activities on wildlife populations
- • Assess wildlife user attitudes and preferences
