Present and Former Leadership

Established in 1960 as the legislatively mandated Institute of Marine Science, the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences has grown to become one of the largest and most geographically diverse academic and research organizations in the state of Alaska. The former School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences was created in 1987 to unify the many academic and research programs in fisheries and ocean sciences across the University of Alaska statewide system. The transformation to the College of Fisheries and Ocean Science in 2016 was the result of our growing student body and expansion of degree programs; the number of faculty, researchers and staff; our major funded research programs; and the national responsibility of operating the Global Class ice-capable research vessel Sikuliaq.
