What does it mean to sustain both a fishery and a way of life?
Join Harmony Wayner, Network Coordinator for the Western Alaska Landscape Initiative and a commercial and subsistence harvester in Bristol Bay, for a conversation about the connections between people, fish, culture, and place. Drawing on Indigenous values and lived experience, Wayner will explore food sovereignty, community well-being, and how marine science can better reflect the priorities of Alaska communities.
Following the presentation, spend time in Arctic Marine Science: Sikuliaq to Shore and create your own painted wooden salmon inspired by the stories, relationships, and ecosystems that sustain life along Alaska’s coasts.
