What is SCeMFiS?
A National Science Foundation Industry/University
Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC)
Academic-Industry Partnerships at NSF
“I/UCRCs … a new era of partnership between universities and
industry, featuring high-quality, industrially relevant fundamental
research, strong industrial support of and collaboration in research and
education” http://www.nsf.gov/eng/iip/iucrc/
SCeMFiS: first I/UCRC dedicated to fisheries research

NSF considers an “Industry” Partner to be any:
- Private company
- Publicly-traded company
- Trade organization
- Non-profit group
- Government (federal, state, or local) agency
Academic Institutions:
University of Southern Mississippi (Lead)
Virginia Institute of Marine Science (Partner)

What is SCeMFiS? Current Research Portfolio: ~10 projects
- Juvenile survey for Surf clams
- Optimization of survey methodology for Black Sea Bass
- Marine mammal independent advisory team
Assessment

MM-Fisheries
interactions
Members Motivation: Support research leading to reduced
uncertainty associated with some components of SA
Research Motivation: Examine current technical challenges
in estimating SA parameters and MM-fisheries interactions
=> Supplementary to SAR/SRG efforts

Supporting SA Needs Supplemental resources to address technical aspects
Stock structure: use of proxies (e.g., habitat,
abundance) when insufficient biological information (Moore and Merrick, 2011)
Abundance and PBR over broad areas: interpolation to
fill gaps (e.g., survey coverage) (Moore and Merrick, 2011)
Human-caused mortality/SI: identify fraction of stock
range subject to highest level (Moore and Merrick, 2011)
PBR = Nmin * 0.5 Rmax * Fr
Population Trends
Examples of SAR
Requirements for each
stock: Human-caused mortality/SI

“… the ASRG recommends that NOAA Fisheries
continue to explore alternative approaches to monitoring,
particularly for species that are not amenable to
traditional visual line transect surveys.”
(Atlantic Scientific Review Group, 1 April 2013)
“… the Commission recommended that the Service
develop alternative strategies for collecting information
on mortality and serious-injury levels in fisheries for
which entanglements are difficult to detect or quantify
using traditional observer programs.”
(MMC Annual Report for 2010-2011)

Project Goals
Assemble SA expert team
Strengthen team’s base knowledge of
challenges in SA of marine mammal
Atlantic stocks => seeking input from
SRG, NMFS, MMC, TRTs, etc.
Provide research recommendations to
SCeMFiS’s science agenda

Big Data, but… “The data may not contain the answer.
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an
answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be
extracted from a given body of data...” (Tukey, 1986)
