Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands, Gulf of Alaska, and Arctic Ocean, as well
as student awards and several workshops.

As part of the AMSS, a workshop is planned on marine research and
monitoring efforts in the Arctic, particularly in the Beaufort and
Chukchi seas. The goal of this workshop is to share information and
promote collaboration among the many entities with increasing activities
in marine research and monitoring in the region, including the oil and
gas industry, local, state, and federal agencies, and non-govenmental
and academic organizations. The workshop also will include a panel
discussion of stakeholder issues and needs in the region. This workshop
is an initial step toward the longer term development of a more
comprehensive monitoring and assessment plan, through which each
participating organization can focus on projects to meet their
particular goals while contributing to a larger data sharing and
integration effort.
The workshop will be held Friday, 23 January 2009. The AMSS plenary
session on Arctic Ocean research is planned for Thursday, 22 January
2009.
