THE NORTHERN GULF INSTITUTE

The Northern Gulf Institute (NGI), a National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Cooperative Institute, develops, operates, and maintains an increasingly integrated research and transition program focused on filling priority gaps and reducing limitations in current Northern Gulf of Mexico awareness, understanding and decision support.

Partnering with five academic institutions and NOAA, the institute is a collaboration led by Mississippi State University (MSU) that includes the University of Southern Mississippi (USM), Louisiana State University (LSU), Florida State University (FSU) and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL). The NGI was established in October of 2006.
