Welcome to PICES
The North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), an intergovernmental scientific organization, was established in 1992 to promote and coordinate marine research in the northern North Pacific and adjacent seas. Its present members are Canada, Japan, People's Republic of China, Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, and the United States of America. FUTURE (Forecasting and Understanding Trends, Uncertainty and Responses of North Pacific Marine Ecosystems ) is an integrative Scientific Program undertaken by the member nations and affiliates of PICES to understand how marine ecosystems in the North Pacific respond to climate change and human activities, to forecast ecosystem status based on a contemporary understanding of how nature functions, and to communicate new insights to its members, governments, stakeholders and the public.

PICES Office Renovations
The PICES office will be undergoing some renovations December 14 2018 to January 7 2019. We are relocating to temporary space in a meeting room at IOS. Many PICES staff are taking this opportunity to catch up on vacation leave, so staffing will be reduced during this period. Please be advised:
- During this period, there will be a single phone number for PICES: 250-363-6733
- Email will NOT be affected
- The PICES website will NOT be affected.
- When PICES staff are out of the office on vacation and not responding to emails, they will note this with Out-of-Office messages
- Robin Brown will also be accessible by mobile phone (250-812-9299). Cell phone reception on our regular office space is poor but is much better in the temporary space.
