The mission of the North Pacific Universities Marine Mammal Research Consortium "is to undertake a long-term program of research on the relation between fisheries and marine mammals in the North Pacific Ocean and Eastern Bering Sea." The Coalition is composed of four universities: Oregon State University, the University of Alaska, the University of Alaska, and the University of Washington. The Consortium website contains information about ongoing research with Steller Sea Lions and Killer Whales; information about research staff, and a sizeable list of downloadable publications (many with hyperlinked abstracts as well). Notably, the Consortium hosts an annotated Searchable Bibliography of Scientific Literature (1751 to the present) pertaining to Steller Sea Lions in Alaska. The site provides brief, basic profiles for several marine animals, and list of related links as well.
