NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker
NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker is the fifth in a series of Oscar Dyson-class fisheries survey vessels and one of the most technologically advanced fisheries vessels in the world. The shipâs primary objective is to support fish, marine mammal, seabird and turtle surveys off the U.S. West Coast and in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.
Funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Reuben Lasker was designed to meet the National Marine Fisheries Service's specific data collection requirements. The ship mainly supports the Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) and Northwest Fisheries Science Center. The science centers conduct sea-going research in support of management and conservation of living marine resources, including fish, marine mammals and marine turtles.
