The NOAA Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center (LMRCSC) trains and graduates students from underrepresented communities in marine science for careers in research, management, and public policy that support the sustainable harvest and conservation of our nation’s living marine resources. With its partner institutions at Hampton University, Delaware State University, University of Maryland Center of Environmental Science, Oregon State University, and the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, the LMRCSC conducts research on marine and estuarine systems congruent with the interests of NOAA Fisheries. The Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center is supported by the NOAA Education Partnership Program with Minority-Serving Institutions.
