NMFS will be traveling to Petersburg to hold a Workshop on Fisheries Resilience in Petersburg. Everyone is encouraged to join Thursday, February 2nd at 5:00 p.m. in the Borough Assembly Chambers.
Understanding what makes fishing communities resilient is critical for shaping effective policies, and may be distinct across Alaska’s geographically isolated coastal communities. Researchers with NOAA fisheries are holding workshops across Gulf of Alaska communities to understand what fishermen are experiencing on the water, how they are responding to changes, and what they and their communities need for long-term resilience. Please come lend your voice to this conversation so that we may work to amplify your voices locally, regionally, and nationally.
