Rutgers University Marine Field Station (RUMFS) is located in Tuckerton, NJ and is a working lab with graduate and postdoctoral level research ongoing year-round. RUMFS is uniquely situated across from the Little Egg Inlet in the Mullica River-Great Bay estuary, one of the most pristine estuaries on the East Coast. Access to the Atlantic Ocean is readily available via several research vessels maintained on site. Research of current onsite faculty, staff and students is centered around finfisheries and finfish habitats.

The Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory (HSRL) has been conducting shellfish research for more than a century and is world-renowned for its research on shellfish pathology and genetics. It includes a research laboratory in Bivalve, NJ, a shellfish research hatchery with access to extensive tidal flats in Green Creek, NJ and a Fisheries Cooperative Center in Cape May, NJ. Current expertise in residence include leading researchers in shellfish genetics, pathology and fisheries.

The Pinelands Field Station acts as a center for the activities of members of the Division of Pinelands Research, which is an assemblage of Rutgers personnel who have a research interest in the New Jersey Pinelands. The role of the Pinelands Research Station is: to act as a focal center for research activities where long- and short-term research activities can be conducted; to act as a conference center within the Pinelands for interaction between research personnel; and to act as a center for learning within the Pinelands, within the University curriculum, in its extension activities and for visiting groups from other institutions.

The New Jersey Aquaculture Innovation Center (NJAIC) was created to stimulate new economic benefits for New Jersey and the mid-Atlantic by capitalizing on the multi-million dollar aquaculture market. The NJAIC was recently opened in Cape May, NJ. Presently, the NJAIC is helping revitalize the oyster industry in Delaware Bay and elsewhere along the East Coast through expanded production of Rutgers developed and patented disease-resistant oysters. The capabilities of the NJAIC are multiple and can support a variety of research projects including phytoplankton, SAV, shellfish, finfish and other vertebrates (e.g., diamondback terrapins have been reared at the NJAIC. Research projects can focus on scaling up production for food, biofuels, pharmaceuticals, restoration, and other needs where more than laboratory scale production is necessary.
