Research investigations of the Middle Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Center

The Middle Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Center is a consolidation and integration of the Sandy Hook (N.J.) Marine Laboratory, the Oxford (Md.) Biological Laboratory, the Milford (Conn.) Biological Laboratory, and the former Ann Arbor (Mich.) Technological Laboratory (now based at Milford). These units (regrouped and subdivided by disciplines) function under direct line authority of the Center Director, Dr. Carl Sindermann, who is responsible to the Associate Director for Resource Research, NMFS, Washington, and to the Regional Director, NMFS Northeast Region, for broad integrated programs of research on living coastal resources.
