International efforts to bring social, environmental and ecological science and management advice to natural resource managers are in the realm of the Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment (PAME) working group of the Arctic Council. The Arctic Council is comprised of the eight Arctic nations, six organizations representing Arctic indigenous peoples, non-Arctic States, Intergovernmental organizations and Non-Governmental Organizations.

 The Alaska Eastern Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Assessment program supports a suite of models that inform Ecosystem-based management, improve assessment methods, and decision tools. These tools help scientists perform analysis requested by the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council for their Fisheries Ecosystem Plan. 

The goal of the Sitka Community Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) efforts is to understand the social and ecological ecosystem in the Sitka Sound to ensure effective Ecosystem-Based Management of the marine resources through partnership with coastal communities, commercial and recreational fishermen, and natural resource managers.
