Welcome to the North Pacific Ocean Knowledge Network Dashboard

This interactive platform connects and synthesizes information about changing ocean conditions, key species, and management approaches across the North Pacific. The North Pacific Ocean Knowledge Network is being developed through the Basin-scale Events and Coastal Impacts (BECI) project to transform fragmented research and data into accessible, actionable insights that support climate-informed fisheries management and conservation decisions across jurisdictions.

Demo Platform Notice

This demonstration showcases the platform's structure and functionality. Some content is illustrative to demonstrate proof-of-concept capabilities. Information presented here should not be used for management decisions or policy development. The full operational platform will contain only verified, peer-reviewed, and validated information from authoritative sources.
