OLD Marine Biology Resources REDIRECT ONLY: NSU Organizations
- NSU Sponge Lab We carry out research in molecular microbiology, genomics and population genetics
- Guy Harvery Researchy Institute The mission of the GHRI is to provide the scientific information necessary to understand, conserve, and effectively manage the world's marine fishes and their ecosystems. The GHRI is one of only a handful of private organizations dedicated exclusively to the science-based conservation of marine fish populations and biodiversity. The research, education and outreach activities of the GHRI are supported by the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, AFTCO Inc., extramural research grants, philanthropic donations by private businesses and individuals, and NSU.
- Save Our Seas Foundation The Save our Seas Shark Centre USA (SOS SC) is a new program at NSU OC, supported in part by the Save Our Seas Foundation, the Save Our Seas Foundation - US, Nova Southeastern University, and private businesses and individuals concerned with improving the state of the world's oceans. SOS SC scientists conduct research, education and conservation projects aimed at identifying and finding solutions to the major threats facing the world's elasmobranch (shark and ray) populations. By developing these solutions, the SOS SC provides critical information to governments and international NGOs to guide better management, conservation and recovery of elasmobranchs on a global basis.
- Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program NSU Halmos College of Natural Sciences and Oceanography manages the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program in partnership with Broward County. The program provides for the conservation of endangered and threatened sea turtle species within Broward County.
- National Coral Reef Institute (NCRI) Researchers at NCRI are exploring scientifically sound approaches to understand, assess, monitor, restore and mitigate injured coral reefs. NCRI is recognized by NOAA as one of its external coral reef research institutes. NCRI's management-oriented research is designed to provide solid information and research products designed to help understand, manage and conserve these invaluable assets for generations to come.
- Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation The Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation conducts scientific research and hosts educational programs aimed at conserving the marine environment. The GHOF will help ensure that future generations can enjoy and benefit from a naturally balanced ocean ecosystem.
- DEEPEND (Deep Pelagic Nekton Dynamics of the Gulf of Mexico) The DEEPEND consortium will characterize the oceanic ecosystem of the northern Gulf of Mexico to infer baseline conditions in the water column. This information will establish a time-series with which natural and anthropogenic changes can be detected.
- REEF (Reproduction and Evolutionary Ecology - Fogarty) Lab With the worldwide decline of coral reefs, it is crucial to understand how reduced coral densities from anthropogenic stressors influence the reproductive success and resilience of this ecosystem. My lab uses a multidisciplinary approach of fieldwork, laboratory experiments, and molecular biology to answer ecological and evolutionary questions related to reproductive biology, marine speciation, and coral reef ecology.
- Charles G Messing Webpage A detailed synopsis of the research of Dr. Charles Messing including publications, expeditions, video, cartoons, illustrations, and links to various projects.
- Our Florida Reefs Mapping Tools The Our Florida Reefs marine planner is an online mapping tool and resource that is available for all to visualize southeast Florida coastal and ocean datasets. The Our Florida Reefs marine planner provides community working group members with advanced technology to aid in the development of their recommended management actions for southeast Florida reefs.
- Coral Reef Restoration, Assessment and Monitoring (CRRAM) Lab Coral reef ecology with an emphasis on restoration, assessment, and monitoring. Research includes investigating the ecology, restoration, and conservation of staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) populations. The lab has a strong resource management focus and works closely with local, state, and federal agency resource managers.
- NSU Coral Nursery Initiative The NSU Coral Nursery Initiative is a hallmark research project of the Nova Southeastern University Halmos College of Natural Sciences and Oceanography. Located both on-shore and about a mile off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, the NSU OC coral nursery is fostering re-growth and increased abundance of the threatened staghorn coral species, Acropora cervicornis, which is likely to be soon listed as endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. The nursery project offers hope for species recovery and for coral reef restoration.

- Coral Spawning Research Group The Coral Spawning Research Group (CSRG) is a forum for scientists, managers, and the general public to post observations, questions, and discussion topics regarding coral sexual reproduction.
- Reproduction and Evolutionary Ecology - Fogarty Lab With the worldwide decline of coral reefs, it is crucial to understand how reduced coral densities from anthropogenic stressors influence the reproductive success and resilience of this ecosystem. The Reproduction and Evolutionary Ecology-Fogarty lab uses a multidisciplinary approach of fieldwork, laboratory experiments, and molecular biology to answer ecological and evolutionary questions related to coral reef ecology and marine speciation. We are particularly interested in how density dependent mechanisms of reproduction will influence invertebrate population recovery, as well as spawning synchrony, reproductive isolation, and speciation.
- DEEPEND The DEEPEND consortium will characterize the oceanic ecosystem of the northern Gulf of Mexico to infer baseline conditions in the water column. This information will establish a time-series with which natural and anthropogenic changes can be detected.
- Marine Environmental Education Center at Carpenter House The MEEC was fostered from a partnership between Broward County Parks and Recreation and Nova Southeastern University. The facility is located on the historic grounds of the Carpenter House at Hollywood North Beach Park in Hollywood, Florida.
- NSU Coral Nursery Initiative Give a Threatened coral a chance to survive! Nova Southeastern University’s Oceanographic Center researchers (NSUOC) are currently working to save the Threatened Staghorn coral from extinction by growing it in an off-shore coral nursery until it is large enough to be outplanted back to local reefs.
