This publication describes research funded from 2002 through 2008.
Contaminants, harmful algal blooms, invasive species, aquaculture, climate change, and an ice-free Arctic are among other prominent issues that warrant focus by the Board, according to the Board's Science and Advisory panels.
To date, the Board has funded eight studies in this research theme for a total of $764,000 in the following categories:
- contaminants
- harmful algal blooms
Climate change and impacts of diminishing sea ice cover often are identified as research priorities within the major thematic sections of the Science Plan.
In the past five years, climate change has become a mainstream issue on national and world agendas, and the Board is addressing this accelerating interest in climate change impacts through individual studies, and, in partnership with the National Science Foundation through the comprehensive Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program.
