    How might adding an Alaska Native representative to the North Pacific Research Board change which research priorities receive funding and attention?

  2. 02

    What specific fisheries or ecosystem research could be delayed or reduced if administrative expenses are allowed to exceed the current 15% cap?

  3. 03
