College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences

The College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, or CFOS, is part of the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

IMS conducts marine science studies in the world’s oceans, with special emphasis on arctic and Pacific subarctic waters.

The NOAA Alaska Sea Grant College Program in Fairbanks funds marine research, offers education and advisory services, distributes information about Alaska’s seas and coasts and provides outreach to coastal communities.

The college is involved in the first ever study of ocean acidification in the North Pacific and its effects on fish.
