Seventeen people comprise the NPRB Science Panel. Members serve four-year terms; all have expertise in oceanography, ecosystem dynamics, fish ecology, marine mammal and seabird biology, fisheries management, socioeconomics or social science.
Science Panel members are selected by the Board for their expertise, broad perspective, long experience, and leadership in areas important to the NPRB research program.
In addition to reviewing proposals and technical evaluations, the Science Panel advises the Board on identifying research priorities and other scientific information relevant to the Board's mission.
To get in touch with any Science Panel member, please contact NPRB staff.
