By using this service to stay connected to VIMS alumni and current events, it is our hope that the Institute's alumni will continue to be involved in the Institute's tripartite mission and goals.
The Academic Council (AC) is a representative body of the School of Marine Science faculty and provides for the development, maintenance, and advancement of the academic and degrees programs.
Administrative offices at VIMS provide resident faculty, staff and students with the physical and human resources needed to effectively complete their work. Available on-line service includes access to email from remote locations, request for computer related technical help, various administrative forms, submission and tracking of grant proposals, and reserving research vessels.
The VIMS community works to provide unbiased scientific information to help policymakers, industry, and citizens effectively manage and conserve coastal and estuarine resources for present and future generations. VIMS scientists provide advisory services not only within the Commonwealth of Virginia, but at national and international levels as well.
The Analytical Service Center researches, develops, and refines methodologies for analyses in a wide spectrum of environmental matrices. ASC instrumentation is of the current generation - computer control/acquisition, background correction, and all optimized for saline matrix. Extensive field experience has created a suite of well-honed sampling and processing procedures, and specialized equipment.
Research in Applied Toxicology focuses on mechanisms of uptake, distribution, biotransformation and clearance of toxicants as well as effects of toxicants on the health and survival of marine organisms

The Marine Advisory Program has been a leader in marine aquaculture initiatives across the Commonwealth. Efforts over recent years have focused upon soft-shell blue crab production, oyster gardening, and the culture of marine finfish for food, stock enhancement, or live-bait production.
The main objective of this group is molecular genetic studies of aquaculture species and disease organisms. Emphasis is on oyster genomics, molecular phylogenetics, population genetics and the development of molecular diagnostics for protozoan pathogens.
The objective of the Aquatic Animal Disease Research & Diagnostic Center is to identify diseases among aquatic animals and to perform basic research that will allow rapid diagnosis and effective disease control for affected organisms.

Scientists in VIMS' Aquaculture Genetics and Breeding Technology Center (ABC) use a combination of selective breeding and genetic research to help restore declining populations of ecologically and commercially important marine species, and to help the aquaculture industry meet humanity's growing appetite for seafood. ABC was established at VIMS in 1997.
The Atlantic Estuarine Research Society (AERS) brings together students, scientists, managers, and educators from the states of DE, MD, NC, NJ, PA, and VA and Washington, DC to discuss estuarine and coastal environmental issues and policies. It is our intent to a foster broader interest in our environment by increasing public awareness of current issues.
