Have you heard about the team of Sea Grant fisheries extension specialists, university scientists, and fisheries managers known as the Regional Reef Fish Collaborative?

Led by Dr. Marcus Drymon, a marine fisheries specialist with Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium, the Collaborative is responsible for gathering, refining, and communicating information about reef fish across the southeastern U.S. Specifically, the Collaborative conducts annual surveys and advisory panel meetings involving reef fish stakeholders to identify reef fish research needs and communicate those needs to scientists and resource managers. The Collaborative also develops and implements Extension and outreach programming related to reef fish research and management.
