关于GCRL
关于 > Overview
The 墨西哥湾沿岸研究实验室 (GCRL) is a research and teaching unit of The University
of Southern Mississippi dedicated to the advancement of scientific discovery and promotion
of academic growth in the fields of marine biology and coastal sciences for the betterment
of society, the wise use of natural resources, and the advancement of sound economic
发展. 它于1948年和1950年由密西西比州立法机构正式成立,
GCRL是国家指定的海洋实验室,由国家指定:
- 促进包括自然资源在内的科学研究和知识 State of Mississippi and to provide for the dissemination of research findings and 来自墨西哥湾沿岸地区的标本.小姐”(. 代码安. §37-101-21);
- Study all estuaries and bays deemed to be nurseries” and “… may recommend the establishment of nursery grounds in the estuaries and bays if necessary to protect the state’s fishing 资源”(小姐. 代码安. §49-15-315); and,
- Be assigned for the use … by the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources小姐”(. 代码安. §37-101-19) and to be utilized “to the fullest extent possible” by the Mississippi 海洋资源委员会. 代码安. § 49-15-15).

我们是美国东南部最大的海洋实验室之一.
Approximately 200 scientists and support staff are employed through the GCRL and conduct 在各种各样的实验室和学术设施上进行研究和教学 50英亩的霍尔斯特德校区和224英亩的雪松点校区. 作为一名大学海员 laboratory, GCRL’s focus is on research and academics associated with the marine and 海岸环境,其目标不仅是推进科学知识,而且 通过可持续渔业、水产养殖、 coastal restoration and conservation - and higher education for workforce 发展. 这些任务组成部分是通过该大学基于gcr的部门实现的 of Coastal Sciences (COA), Center for Fisheries 研究 and Development (CFRD), Thad 科克伦海洋养殖中心(TCMAC)和海洋教育中心(MEC). 具体的 这些单位的研究重点包括:
- Coastal Ecology - investigating biodiversity and the linkages between environmental processes of the coastal zone and the populations and communities of organisms therein
- Marine Aquaculture - research and 发展 in the culture of marine organisms for 海产品生产与修复
- Fisheries and Fisheries Oceanography - collaborative and independent research on fisheries 生态学、海洋学、管理和重要鱼类栖息地
- Aquatic Health - understanding the biological, chemical and physical factors affecting 海洋和沿海生物以及支持它们的生态系统的健康
Since its inception, a primary objective of the GCRL has been to provide scientific support to the State of Mississippi for research and management needs pertaining to 国家海洋和沿海资源. 为此,GCRL的教职员工和学生 collaborate closely with partners at the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (MDMR) and Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and serve on committees and panels which provide science-based guidance to the Mississippi Commission on Marine 资源(MCMR). 这种支持还通过我们科学家的参与扩大到全国 on regional and federal committees for entities such as the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council, the NOAA Marine Fisheries 倡议(MARFIN)小组,以及NOAA高度迁徙物种咨询小组.
具体的 to the State of Mississippi, current and historical support provided through GCRL包括:
- 与MDMR协调成立密西西比股票评估小组 例行的库存评估,以支持密西西比河健全的管理决策 海洋资源委员会
- Proposal 发展 for and collaboration on the State’s various National Fish and Wildlife Foundation projects through the Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund to better understand and restore natural resources impacted by the BP oil spill; these include 红鲷鱼、礁鱼、牡蛎和海洋哺乳动物项目
- Support for oyster restoration through the USM-led Mississippi Based RESTORE Act Center (MBRACE)和TCMAC牡蛎养殖项目
- Collaborative long-term monitoring programs through CFRD for all life-history stages of finfish, shrimp and crabs in Mississippi coastal waters to support stock assessments 管理工作
- Marsh plant propagation research and 发展 (and associated nursery) and landscape 建立模型以支持州沼泽恢复工作
- Shellfish sanitation testing for Mississippi oysters to ensure compliance with federal regulations designed to protect public health (GCRL is the only conforming shellfish 密西西比州测试实验室.)
- 鱼类识别训练,以加强鱼类管制
- Large pelagics program to inform management of offshore marine species (billfishes, 金枪鱼、鲨鱼)和对密西西比以渔业为基础的经济至关重要的栖息地.g., 密西西比海湾沿岸长嘴鱼经典)
- Public outreach and education through MEC K-12 and citizen scientist education programs
- Establishment of acoustic monitoring protocols and project implementation for coastal finfish species to more finely delineate Essential Fish Habitat and Critical Habitat 就许可而言
- Advisement and expertise on numerous Technical Working Groups for the Deepwater Horizon NRDA和监测本州的牡蛎礁和近海人工礁 修复项目
- 循环 & 仔鱼调查和建模,以更好地了解招募模式 对于重要的河口依赖物种
- 研究 and 发展 on finfish, oyster, shrimp and crab aquaculture for seafood production and/or restoration to support economic 发展 and enhancement of overfished 股票
- 分析、监测、观察 & 范围以外的其他科学服务
MDMR和MDEQ能力,包括以下方面的专门知识:
- 疾病 & 寄生虫学(e.g.皮)
- 先进的 & 定制统计分析
- 群体遗传学
- 底栖生物 & 微生物生态学
- 毒理学
- 生态系统 & 景观建模
- 鱼的繁殖,年龄/生长 & 喂养
- 地球化学 & 水质测试
- 通过COA本科和研究生学术课程发展劳动力
- 研究、学术 & 后勤资源通过Gunter图书馆,GCRL博物馆 及USM船队
