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 2024, we will have two Ocean Reflections invited papers. The first will be our first co-authored paper entitled ‘Research into the Complexities of Reproduction in Exploited Reef Fishes’ 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).

Our second Ocean Reflections invited paper is entitled ‘Saving the iconic Nassau grouper: The countdown continues’ by Dr. Yvonne J. Sadovy who is retired from the University of Hong Kong. Dr. Sadovy is best known for her cutting-edge research and stewardship of fish spawning aggregations worldwide.

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