This web page provides access to
converted posters and PowerPoint presentations given at the Marine Sciences in the
Northeast Pacific Symposium: Science for Resource Dependent Communities,
held on 13-17 January 2003, in Anchorage, Alaska. The presentations
are designed to help inform scientists and other members of the
interested public about recent advances in understanding the marine
science that bears on marine resource dependent communities in
Alaska and adjacent waters. Significant recent advances in
understanding how oceanography, climate and food webs interact are
expected to benefit those engaged in fisheries, conservation of
protected species, environmental protection and education.
