为了应对季节性海冰急剧减少和影响生物群落的其他物理变化，2009年提出了一个分布式生物观测站，作为“变化探测阵列”，以测量从白令海北方到太平洋北极部分的博福特海的纬度梯度沿着物理变化的生物反应。2010年，太平洋北极集团（PAG）启动了一项试点计划，重点是在五个高生产力、生物多样性和变化率的地区制定标准化采样协议。2012年，一个学术团队获得了资助，在机构间北极研究政策委员会（IARPC）DBO合作团队的支持下，对所有五个DBO地区进行了采样。IARPC团队从2012年到2016年每月举行一次会议，并将DBO从试点阶段推进到实施阶段，包括1）在博福特海增加三个新的采样区域，2）将观测站与现有的基于社区的观测计划联系起来的目标，以及3）从2018年开始制定定期太平洋北极区域海洋评估（PARMA）计划。DBO的长期未来将取决于国际和国家合作伙伴的积极参与，这些合作伙伴的共同目标是在快速变化的时代改进对区域海洋生态系统的泛北极评估。
In response to dramatic seasonal sea ice loss and other physical changes influencing biological communities, a Distributed Biological Observatory (DBO) was proposed in 2009 as a "change detection array" to measure biological responses to physical variability along a latitudinal gradient extending from the northern Bering Sea to the Beaufort Sea in the Pacific Arctic sector. In 2010, the Pacific Arctic Group (PAG) initiated a pilot program, focused on developing standardized sampling protocols in five regions of high productivity, biodiversity, and rates of change. In 2012, an academic team received funding to sample all five DBO regions, with collateral support from the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) DBO Collaboration Team. The IARPC team met monthly from 2012 to 2016 and advanced the DBO from a pilot phase to an implementation phase, including 1) the addition of three new sampling regions in the Beaufort Sea, 2) the goal of linking the observatory to existing community-based observation programs, and 3) the development of a plan for a periodic Pacific Arctic Regional Marine Assessment (PARMA) beginning in 2018. The long-term future of the DBO will depend on active involvement of international and national partners focused on the common goal of improved pan-Arctic assessments of regional marine ecosystems in an era of rapid change.
