Welcome!
Welcome to the website of the Fisheries Ecosystem Modeling and Assessment Research (FEMAR) group at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS).
We offer the necessary tools to fully understand coral reef ecosystems to support policy made by federal, state, and local entities with sound scientific investigations.
Our Fishery Systems Science framework more fully accounts for the dynamic range of cumulative stressors that affect spatial productivity and sustainability of reef fishes, and provides a wider range of management control options for achieving sustainability and optimizing socioeconomic value of the reef fishery.
