INTEGRATED ECOSYSTEM PROGRAMS
NPRB maintains scientific programs designed to address pressing fishery management issues and Alaska marine ecosystem information needs.
NPRB supports a competitive, peer-reviewed annual request for proposal (RFP) process dedicated to marine research in Alaskan waters.
The Arctic Integrated Ecosystem Reserach Program looked at how physical changes in the ocean influence the flow of energy through the marine food web in the Bering Strait, Chukchi Sea, and western Beaufort Sea from 2017-2021.
Supporting science communication, engagement, outreach, and education initiatives for all our research programs.
This program supports new or existing time-series research that enhance the ability to understand the current state of marine ecosystems.
The Bering Sea Project, a partnership between the North Pacific Research Board and the National Science Foundation, sought to understand the impacts of climate change and dynamic sea ice cover on the eastern Bering Sea ecosystem.
These are large-scale interdisciplinary ecosystem-based programs, requiring multiple agency coordination, collaboration, and investigation.
NPRB supports next generation scientists, researchers, and resource managers to further their studies in relevant fields of marine science and to our mission.
The Gulf of Alaska Project tested three main hypotheses about the survival and recruitment of five focal groundfish species (Pacific cod, Pacific ocean perch, walleye pollock, arrowtooth flounder, sablefish) during their first year of life.
