F/V OCEAN VIEW INC

F/V OCEAN VIEW INC specializes in providing charter vessel services for scientific marine surveys, particularly in support of fisheries research and stock assessment programs. Their core capability centers on the safe, precise, and reliable operation of commercial fishing vessels as mobile research platforms, enabling data collection for population dynamics, habitat mapping, and stock abundance modeling. The contractor delivers technical support for NOAA Fisheries’ Northeast Fisheries Science Center, conducting targeted surveys for surf clams and quahogs using standardized scientific protocols, including bottom trawling, acoustic sampling, and biological specimen handling. Their operational expertise includes vessel-based deployment of scientific gear, real-time data logging, compliance with federal sampling methodologies, and coordination with marine biologists and oceanographers in dynamic coastal environments. Key differentiators include deep familiarity with Northeastern U.S. marine ecosystems, vessel maneuverability in shallow and high-current zones, and adherence to NOAA’s rigorous data integrity standards. The contractor has demonstrated direct experience supporting the Department of Commerce, specifically through NOAA Fisheries, delivering mission-critical at-sea research services under federal scientific charters. Their relationship with this agency is defined by consistent, field-based operational support for ecosystem monitoring and sustainable fisheries management initiatives. Their primary industry focus is in research and development within the physical and life sciences, specifically marine ecological research conducted under NAICS 541715. This places them in the niche segment of applied oceanographic science, serving federal agencies requiring specialized maritime logistics for biological data acquisition. F/V OCEAN VIEW INC operates as a small, locally based entity in West Creek, New Jersey, with no federal certifications on record. Their business model is centered on vessel-based service delivery, positioning them as a niche provider of marine research support in the Atlantic coastal region, particularly for NOAA’s regional science centers.
