The Gulf of Maine Research Institute is pleased to announce the Marine Resource Education Program (MREP) in the Southeast fishery region for November 2025.
By fishermen, for fishermen, MREP provides fishermen and others with an interest in federal fisheries with an opportunity to gain insight into how fisheries data are collected and how those data lead to regulations. MREP brings together commercial, charter, and recreational fishermen with scientists, managers, and other marine resource professionals from the South Atlantic, Gulf, and the Caribbean to learn, share insights, and network in a neutral and professional setting. Participants leave the program empowered and better prepared to be a voice in federal fisheries management.
The 5-day workshop is free to selected participants and includes travel reimbursement, hotel accommodations, and meals. Seats are limited, and preference will be given to applications received by July 13th.
Applications to participate can be found at: https://mrep.gmri.org/apply

General questions about the program should be directed to Courtney Pickett, MREP Program Manager, (207) 228-1645 or cpickett@gmri.org. Or visit us at https://mrep.gmri.org/
