Northwest Fisheries Science Center

NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center, Woods Hole, MA logo

The Woods Hole facility occupies 3.4 acres on Vineyard Sound. The facility houses both the Woods Hole Laboratory Research Divisions and the Northeast Fisheries Science Center Directorate. The Center provides overall management and direction for the five laboratories located in the Northeast Region. In addition, the Operations, Management, and Information Division and Data Management Systems Staff are located at the Woods Hole Laboratory. The Laboratory houses a public and research aquarium that is open to visitors year-round, and also utilizes two research vessels: the Gloria Michelle and the Henry B. Bigelow.
