FSU and Mote Marine Laboratory co-manage the endowment though an exceptional partnership established to promote collaborative interactions and scientific exchange in fisheries ecology at both institutions. The Endowment supports eminent scholars in fisheries ecology to spend up to a year at either FSU or Mote Marine Laboratory, and a semi-annual symposium, and a summer intern scholarship.
