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.

Administratively, VIMS offers advisory services through its Aquaculture Genetics and Breeding Technology Center (ABC), Center for Coastal Resources Management (CCRM), and Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) program. VIMS also administers and operates the Marine Advisory Program (MAP) of Virginia Sea Grant and the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Virginia (CBNERRVA). Advisory service is also provided by individual faculty, staff, and students from throughout the institution.
