Gulf and Caribbean Research is a peer-reviewed, scientific journal published online by The University of Southern Mississippi and co-sponsored by the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory. The journal was originally founded in 1961 by Gordon Gunter as a publication of the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, and was titled Gulf Research Reports; that title persisted through 1999. Starting in 2000, the name was changed to Gulf and Caribbean Research to better reflect the scope of manuscripts, and the journal was published in traditional hard-copy format through 2013. After a brief hiatus involving a change to an electronic only format, the journal began accepting articles for publication in 2015. The journal considers manuscripts which deal mainly with research or research issues pertinent to the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea.

In 2025, we will have our first co-authored Ocean Reflections paper entitled ‘How do you solve a problem like the groupers? A review of Gag, Red Grouper, and Goliath Grouper in the Southeastern United States’ co-developed by Drs. Chris Koenig and Felicia Coleman who are retired from the Florida State University Coastal and Marine Laboratory. Jointly, they were responsible for establishing two 100+ square mile shelf-edge fishery reserves in the NE Gulf of Mexico: ‘Madison Swanson’ and ‘Steamboat Lumps.’ Additionally, Koenig and Coleman’s research on the biology of threatened and endangered reef fish species has also been important in the protection of Atlantic Goliath Grouper (Epinephelus itajara).

A second 2025 invited Ocean Reflections manuscript is entitled “Rivers to the Deep Sea – Thoughts on my Career and Profession” developed by Dr. Steve W. Ross who is retired from the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. Dr. Ross has studied numerous habitat types and their fishes in the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico ranging from freshwater to deep sea over a 45+ year career.

Open-access fees for the Ocean Reflection articles are supported by the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies, Corpus Christi, Texas.
