The Habitat and Ecological Processes Research (HEPR) Program develops scientific research that supports implementation of an ecosystem approach to fishery management. 

The HEPR Program focuses on integrated studies that combine scientific capabilities and create comprehensive research on habitat and ecological processes.

Teams of AFSC and Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) scientists plan and collaborate in new research. The HEPR Program is proactive in identifying emerging issues to develop the science before new challenges mature into crises, also drawing expertise from the fishery, habitat, and protected resource managers at the Alaska Regional Office.
