Our Research
We study diverse ecosystems worldwide to protect species, restore natural resources, and create sustainable solutions.
Featured Projects
The FISHSCAPE Project studies how reef fish use seagrass habitats in the Florida Keys to better inform marine sanctuary management.
FIU’s Water Quality Monitoring Network tracks coastal water conditions across South Florida to support ecosystem health and management.
The FCE LTER program at FIU is one of only 27 NSF-funded long-term ecological research sites in the U.S., with 25 years of groundbreaking science driving Everglades restoration and coastal resilience.
Global FinPrint is the world’s largest coral‑reef shark and ray census. Launched in 2015 by FIU with support from the Paul G. Allen Foundation, it uses baited underwater video surveys in over 400 reefs across 58 countries to map populations, guide conservation efforts, and support shark protection policies globally .
Spaces that Inspire. Teams that Drive Change.
