Their projects have encompassed diverse research objectives such as developing image-based biological data collection systems, monitoring offshore wind farm impacts on marine species, testing modified fishing gear to reduce bycatch, and creating research fleets that collect scientific data during commercial fishing operations. Notable grant projects have included piloting automatic squid jigging machinery, assessing vulnerability of sea scallop social-ecological systems to ocean acidification, and establishing research fleets for lobster and scallop fisheries. CFRF has also collaborated with various research institutions and organizations like Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, and National Fish and Wildlife Foundation through sub-grant partnerships, demonstrating a robust network of scientific collaboration in marine research and fisheries management.
