Humans

Ecosystems provide us with nutrition, subsistence, employment, income, lifestyles, cultural identity, and even spirituality.

We must understand the roles oceans play in our lives, and how ecosystem functions and processes impact individuals and societies. To this end, NPRB has funded a variety of social, economic and management research.
