Did you know that for more than 85 years, we have been conducting cutting-edge wildlife and fisheries research? The Department of Fishieres, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences engage with federal and state agencies, landowners, commissions, tribes, and many other partners. We do the research that promotes the recovery of endangered species and identify new and better ways to conserve and manage terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems.

If you've ever wondered how you can easily access California commercial fisheries data, you're in luck, as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Marine Fisheries Data Explorer (MFDE) has just been updated through 2023! The MFDE is a dynamic, web-based tool that compiles non-confidential fisheries data in a variety of reports, visuals, and annual summaries - Landings by Block is a personal favorite, and there are plenty of other readily prepared reports to explore. Filter reports by date ranges, species, port of landing, or create personalized custom queries to answer more specific fisheries data related investigations - see the user guide for further instructions. #fisheries #commercialfishing #fisheriesmanagement #fishdata

Our initiative is focused on the fascinating fish behavior of some reef species --groupers, snappers and jacks— that are among the most important commercial species in the wider Caribbean. One of these species is the Nassau Grouper, whose aggregating season just began. But what is a fish spawning aggregation? Check out this 1-min video to learn what it is. 🐠 BelugaSmile Productions, NOAA Fisheries, Wildlife Conservation Society, Belize Program, Perry Institute for Marine Science (PIMS), SPAW-RAC, FAO, Charter Fishermans Association, SOUTH ATLANTIC FISHERMANS ASSOCIATION, Comunidad y Biodiversidad A.C. #protectourcatch #NassauOnTheBrink #RecoverBigFish #Spawning4Resilience #ProductivityHotpots #HopeSpots #FishSmart #SustainableFishing

How important is positioning accuracy for your survey equipment? Cornwall IFCA reached out to speak to us about upgrading their existing USBL system. With one of 10 Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities covering the coast of England, they were looking to minimise the impact of fishery activities to the environment through the use of our products. Having researched the Easytrak Alpha, Cornwall IFCA acquired the funds to purchase a system.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service have issued three final rules effective May 6, mainly undoing regulatory amendments implementing Sections 4 and 7 of the Endangered Species Act, promulgated in August 2019. The new rules are expected to cause significant delays in completing agency reviews and add new substantive requirements to obtain ESA incidental take coverage #TheEnvironmentalLawFirm #EndangeredSpeciesAct #USFWS
