The North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC) and the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES) are inter-governmental organizations with overlapping geographical areas and common scientific interests in the sub-Arctic regions of the North Pacific Ocean. The joint PICES-NPFC Study Group for Scientific Cooperation in the North Pacific Ocean (PICES-NPFC SG) developed a 5-year Framework for enhancing collaboration between the two organizations for the period 2019-2024. As areas of interest and priorities change over time, the joint areas for collaboration will be reviewed and may be updated in 5-year increments. This Framework has been updated to reflect changes in both organizations and to outline priorities for collaboration from 2025-2029.
