Administration

Director, Rutgers/NOAA Cooperative Marine Education and Research Program (CMER). The

Rutgers/NOAA CMER program is intended to foster enhanced interactions between all elements of

NOAA and Rutgers University with special emphasis on projects of mutual interest to the University

and the Northeast Region of the National Marine Fisheries Service. The funding level for the past

Twelve years has been approximately $1 million/year from sources both inside and outside the

Northeast Fisheries Science Center. During the first twelve years of the program (1993-2006) over

$9 million has funded over sixty five projects. Eighteen faculty members from seven University

departments, nineteen students from six graduate programs, seven post-doctoral fellows, and

numerous undergraduate students participated during the first twelve years. Numerous NOAA

scientists serve as co-principal investigators or advisors on these projects. Projects funded by the

Rutgers/NOAA CMER program generally fall into one or more of the following six broad

categories: habitat studies, socioeconomics, fishery products, biology and life history, pollutants, and

education and training. For a full description of the program, including the Rutgers/NOAA CMER

Annual Report, visit our web site http://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/nefsc/publications/cmer/cmer.htm.
