NPRB
The North Pacific Research Board (Board) was created by Congress in 1997 to recommend marine research initiatives to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), who is charged with making final funding decisions. The Board has 20 members hailing mainly from Alaska, Washington and Oregon. Its staff and home office are located in Anchorage, Alaska.
The Board's mission is to develop a comprehensive science program of the highest caliber to enhance understanding of the North Pacific, Bering Sea, and Arctic Ocean ecosystems and fisheries. It will conduct its work through science planning, prioritization of pressing fishery management and ecosystem information needs, coordination and cooperation among research programs, competitive selection of research projects, increased information availability, and public involvement. The Board will seek to avoid duplicating other research.

Alaska Marine Information System (AMIS)
A collaborative web based portal with AOOS, that integrates multivariate oceanographic, fisheries and biogeographic information for the Alaska region with historical oceanographic and meteorological data. The project browser function will allow searches for projects, data, publications, contacts, and investigators.
Data will include: weather stations, oceanographic surveys and mooring, satellites, surface current radars, fish, birds, and marine mammals, and the environmental effects of human activities, as well as any other information that can be used with the physical data to predict future changes to the ocean ecosystem.
