Turn your curiosity about marine life into science-based expertise that helps protect and preserve the diverse species that live in our planet's waters. The Bachelor of Science in Natural Resources with an emphasis in Fisheries Conservation and Management focuses on the ecology of aquatic systems, including the study of their biology, their relationships with each other and humans, and the physical and biological environments that are their habitat. Fishery biologists develop strategies to maintain biodiversity and habitat, help rare and endangered species to recover, manage populations of harvested animals, enforce laws, monitor plant and animal populations, manage refuges and hatcheries, design and implement research projects, eliminate invasive species, develop computer models and educate the public. Coursework builds on a solid foundation of biological and physical sciences and offers engaging opportunities for fieldwork. Graduates are employed as fishery biologists by federal and state resource-management agencies and by other conservation organizations.
