Dedicated to Research and Education on the
Biology, Ecology, Biodiversity, and Conservation of
Fishes
What is the Guy Harvey Research
Institute?
The world's marine and freshwater fish resources and diversity are experiencing an
unprecedented decline as a result of overfishing, pollution and habitat loss associated with
explosive growth in human populations. The United Nations Food and Agricultural
Organization estimates that of the world's fish stocks whose status is known, nearly 70% are
fully exploited, overexploited or critically depleted. There is, therefore, an urgent need for
properly planned conservation and restoration measures for fish resources on a global scale.
It is widely acknowledged that to be effective, such measures must be based on high quality
scientific information, which is largely lacking for most fish resources.
The Guy Harvey Research Institute (GHRI) is a scientific research organization formed as a collaboration
between Dr. Guy Harvey and the Oceanographic Center of Nova Southeastern University. GHRI has been
established to assume a leadership role in providing the scientific information necessary for effective conservation
and restoration of fish resources and biodiversity from a local to global scale.
The Mission of the Guy Harvey Research Institute
The mission of the Guy Harvey Research Institute is to conduct high quality,
solution-oriented, basic and applied biological science research needed for effective
conservation, restoration, enhancement, biodiversity maintenance and understanding of
the world's wild fish resources. GHRI, through Nova Southeastern University, also
provides advanced graduate training to US and international students in disciplines
related to these conservation goals.
Where is the Guy Harvey
Research Institute Located?
The Guy Harvey Research Institute forms
part of Nova Southeastern University's
Oceanographic Center campus, located at the
entrance of Port Everglades on a ten-acre
waterfront site in Dania Beach, Florida. The
Institute's proximity to coral reefs, popular
fishing grounds and the open ocean makes it
ideally suited for marine research activities.
Who Supports the Conservation Activities of
the Guy Harvey Research Institute?
The scientific research and education programs of the Guy
Harvey Research Institute are supported by Guy Harvey
Incorporated, Nova Southeastern University,
and private
citizens and organizations concerned about the deteriorating
state of the world's oceans.
