The Molluscan Ecology Program within the Department of Fisheries Science at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) is a dynamic research group that derives its origins from the original oyster biologists at the Virginia Fisheries Laboratory, the organizational ancestor to VIMS. While one of the program’s main focuses is to provide research-based advisory service to the Commonwealth of Virginia for oyster biology, ecology, restoration and fishery management, the interests and research include a wide range of other topics.
