About the National Association of Marine Laboratories.

The National Association of Marine Laboratories (NAML), organized in the late 1980's, is a nonprofit organization of over 120 members employing more than 10,000 scientists, engineers, and professionals and representing marine and Great Lakes laboratories stretching from Guam to Bermuda and Alaska to Puerto Rico.

NAML member laboratories provide a variety of academic, research, and public service programs. They are unique "windows on the sea," providing information on the rich environmental mosaic of coastal habitats where land meets sea. Their 'sense of place' encourages wise local land management and protection of our precious natural resources.
NAML: Goals

The member institutions of the National Association of Marine Labs (NAML) work together to improve the quality and effectiveness of ocean, coastal and Great Lakes research, education and outreach. Through these unique national and regional networks, NAML encourages ecosystem-based management, wise local land management and the understanding and protection of natural resources. In particular, NAML seeks to:
  • Promote and support basic and applied research of the highest quality from the unique perspective of coastal laboratories.

  • Encourage wise utilization and conservation of marine and coastal habitats and resources using ecosystem-based management approaches.

  • Recognize, encourage and support the unique role that coastal laboratories play in conducting education, outreach, and public service.

  • Promote the efficient exchange of information, constructive cooperation, and productive coordination among NAML member institutions and across regional associations.

  • Facilitate and coordinate the exchange of information and utilization of expertise between NAML member institutions and government agencies.
NAML is composed of three regional associations:

Northeastern Association of Marine & Great Lakes Laboratories (NEAMGLL)
Includes institutions on the Great Lakes and marine laboratories from the eastern seaboard north of Maryland.

Southern Association of Marine Laboratories (SAML)
Includes marine laboratories from Maryland to Texas including Bermuda and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
