Alaska Marine Science Symposium Each year, NPRB, along with several other co-sponsors, hosts Alaska's premier marine research conference. Speakers at the symposium deliver marine science findings from the Arctic, Bering Sea & Aleutian Islands, and the Gulf of Alaska. Conference Website About Us The (NPRB) was created by Congress in 1997 to recommend marine research activities to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce. For almost two decades, NPRB has been committed to better understanding the waters surrounding Alaska as they relate to pressing fishery management issues and important ecosystem information needs. Since 2002, NPRB has supported three major ecosystem research programs, over 430 multi-annual projects, 62 graduate students, and three long-term monitoring projects. Over 120 different institutions (national and international) have received funding, resulting in more than 580 peer-reviewed journal publications, covering research themes that include fishes & invertebrates, fish habitat, oceanography, lower trophic level productivity, seabirds, marine mammals, and humans. NPRB is composed of twenty members; ten of which are appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, representing various industry, resource management, academia, environmental interests, and the interests of Alaska Native people. Two standing panels, a science panel and an advisory panel, advise NPRB in identifying appropriate areas of study, developing and reviewing scientific programs and proposals, and assuring overall scientific and stakeholder input. -- Research Programs Through a competitive proposal process, NPRB supports peer-reviewed scientific research in the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands, and the Arctic Ocean ecosystems. NPRB maintains four scientific programmatic approaches: Core Program Long Term Monitoring Program Integrated Ecosystem Research Programs Graduate Student Research Awards Share Your Thoughts: 2022 Core RFP Suggestions NPRB staff begins developing draft research priorities for the annual RFP in late July and August. If you have ideas for research that you think merit consideration in next year’s RFP, please complete this short form. Suggestions made before July 17 will be considered for the current year’s RFP development. Suggestions received after this date will be considered for the following year. Submit Here Core Project & Publication Search NPRB maintains two distinct online search mechanisms for Core-funded projects and all publications, including IERP programs. Search by author, keyword, project or publication number. Use these tools to help craft proposals and better understand the impact of NPRB-funded science. Project Search & Database Publication Library Connect with the Arctic Program! NPRB has just launched a blog and social media site completely dedicated to the Arctic Program in preparation for the Program's first research cruise in June 2017. Stay informed with blog posts submitted by folks aboard the 260ft R/V Sikuliaq and follow conversations on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! Arctic Program Blog Annual Photo Contest Since 2007, NPRB has conducted an annual photo contest specific to sea life, seascapes, coastal scenes, and marine research within the waters of the North Pacific Ocean. The contest is open to both professional and amateur photographers.

They provide over 40% of the commercial fish landings in the United States and generate an abundance of resources for subsistence and recreational users. Each has a suite of atmospheric and oceanographic features within which marine species have adapted strategies for growth and survival. NPRB classifies waters off Alaska into three distinct ecosystems: Arctic Ocean Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands Gulf of Alaska Research Themes NPRB places a priorty on research that addresses pressing fishery management issues and imporant ecosystem information needs. This research can be further subdivided into the following research themes.
