- Climate change
- Biodiversity and biogeography
- Eutrophication
- Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs)
- Fisheries investigations
- Plankton ecology
- Taxonomy
- Regime shifts
- Non-indigenous species

Famous quotes containing the words ecological and/or research:
“The hatred of the youth culture for adult society is not a disinterested judgment but a terror-ridden refusal to be hooked into the, if you will, ecological chain of breathing, growing, and dying. It is the demand, in other words, to remain children.”
—Midge Decter (b. 1927)
“After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.”
—Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)
