Education

We have been working to “translate” scientific research funded by NPRB into forms suitable for other audiences.

NPRB Research at a Glance

Our "at-a-glance" summaries are appropriate as a "shoreline" of research for:

  • Teachers and students of all ages and academic levels
  • The public in Alaska and beyond, including tourists interested in marine mammals, seabirds, and the fishing industry
  • Alaska residents, including Alaska Native communities, who depend on marine resources for subsistence or employment
  • The scientific community of marine researchers
  • Agencies responsible for managing North Pacific marine resources

Project Synopses

More than 70 NPRB-funded projects are now complete. These "at-a-glance" versions of NPRB-funded research tell you in just two pages about the substance and relevance of each project. Our goal is to provide a synopsis for each completed project. Synopses are organized by these research themes:

Plankton, Ocean Processes, and Lower Trophic Productivity | Go!

Fish Habitat | Go!

Fishes and Invertebrates | Go!

Marine Mammals | Go!

Seabirds | Go!

Humans | Go!

Ecosystem Studies | Go!

Contaminants | Go!

Research Summaries

Research Summaries are larger publications that "tell the story" of NPRB-funded research from 2002-present. Our goal is to publish a Research Summary for each of the above themes. Seabirds and Marine Mammals are now available; Fishes & Invertebrates is coming soon!
