Pribilof Islands Community-Based Ocean Monitoring Program (NPRB Project 733)

The Pribilof Islands Aleut communities of St. Paul and St. George, in collaboration with the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental
Laboratory (PMEL) began the Pribilof Islands Community-Based Ocean Monitoring Program (PICBOMP) in 2007. The PICBOMP is designed
to collect continuous water temperature and salinity measurements to provide a time series of high quality oceanographic measurements
from shallower coastal Bering Sea waters. These data are currently unavailable for monitoring changes in ocean characteristics.
The results of this study show that near-shore ocean monitoring sites such as those maintained by the Pribilof communities can
provide a valuable long-term source of low-cost, real-time oceanographic data. The instrumentation and data relay system worked
exceptionally well and the initial deployments also provided valuable information on improvements to the system for these and future
near-shore moorings. This was especially valuable in terms of instrument placement in the harbors and proximity to runoff and
fresh-water influx. The initial success of the PICBOMP demonstrates that scientific observation can be coupled with community
involvement and local knowledge for a constructive partnership toward the assessment of long-term changes in the Bering Sea. These datasets were archived as part of the North Pacific Research Board legacy project recovery effort undertaken by Axiom Data Science and NPRB in 2025. The goal of the recovery effort was to assess the NPRB-funded data projects from 2002 to 2014 and archive final data packages that were ready for publication to increase long-term accessibility and discoverability. Data packages were archived as is given limited funding and resources.

圣保罗岛与圣乔治岛的普里比洛夫群岛阿留申社区与美国国家海洋和大气管理局太平洋海洋环境实验室（NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, PMEL）合作，于2007年共同启动普里比洛夫群岛社区主导海洋监测计划（Pribilof Islands Community-Based Ocean Monitoring Program, PICBOMP）。该计划旨在持续采集海水温度与盐度数据，以获取白令海近岸浅海海域的高质量海洋观测时间序列。目前尚无此类数据可用于监测海洋特征的变化。本研究结果显示，由普里比洛夫群岛社区维护的近岸海洋监测站点，可提供兼具低成本与实时性的宝贵海洋观测长期数据源。仪器设备与数据中继系统运行表现极佳，首批部署还为该类及未来近岸锚系监测系统的优化改进提供了宝贵参考，这一点在港口仪器布设位置、径流与淡水输入邻近性等方面尤为关键。普里比洛夫群岛社区主导海洋监测计划的初步成功证明，科学观测可与社区参与及本土知识深度结合，形成建设性伙伴关系，助力白令海长期变化的评估工作。本数据集由Axiom Data Science与北太平洋研究委员会（North Pacific Research Board, NPRB）于2025年作为其遗留项目复苏工作的一部分完成归档。此次复苏工作的目标为评估2002年至2014年间由NPRB资助的数据项目，并归档可正式发布的最终数据包，以提升数据的长期可访问性与可发现性。鉴于资金与资源有限，数据包将按原始状态完成归档。
