Partnerships

Harmful Algal Bloom collection

The Center supports collaborative research and works with a wide spectrum of people from government agencies, universities, Tribal agencies, as well as representatives of the fishing and hydropower industries, among many others.

We have cooperative research agreements with the University of Washington's College of Ocean and Fishery Sciences and with Oregon State University. Center projects involve university faculty, postdoctoral fellows, student interns and visiting university scientists from around the world.

Through Interagency Personnel Agreements we regularly offer scientists from universities and from local and state governments the opportunity to work at the Center for one or two year periods. In addition, the Center is currently conducting more than a dozen research projects in cooperation with Pacific Northwest Tribal organizations.

In several programs, the Center partners with the owners of commercial fishing vessels, for instance, to help carry out NOAA Fisheries' coastwide surveys of the continental slope. Center scientists work with scientists from other NOAA Fisheries regions, the Bonneville Power Administration, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management and intergovernmental agencies such as the PICES (the North Pacific Marine Sciences Organization).
