Joint Alaska Regional Office and Alaska Fisheries Science Center Tribal Engagement Newsletter Release
In Alaska, the National Marine Fisheries Service, known as NMFS or NOAA Fisheries, has two line offices: the Alaska Regional Office and the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. The regional office is responsible for overseeing the science-based stewardship of living marine resources and their habitat in the North Pacific and Arctic Oceans off Alaska, including sustainable fisheries, protected species, and healthy ecosystems to support resilient coastal communities. The science center conducts research to monitor and assess Alaska’s fish, crabs, marine mammals and marine ecosystems. For more than three decades, this organizational structure which separates management and research has preserved the integrity of the agency’s science and research activities.
This Alaska Region Tribal Newsletter is a joint effort between the two offices to provide a comprehensive view of what’s happening at NOAA Fisheries in Alaska.
