Building Equity for Salmon and Indigenous Knowledge in Alaska Marine Fisheries Management

Held on January 21, this webinar spotlighted efforts to combat the alarming decline of salmon in Alaska's Kuskokwim River, a vital resource for 33 subsistence-dependent Tribes and communities. The project focuses on blending Indigenous Knowledge with modern science to better understand salmon life cycles, empowering Indigenous communities in co-stewardship, and developing equitable recommendations for federal fishery management. Attendees explored how collaborative workshops and innovative approaches are driving solutions to restore salmon abundance and support the cultural and economic well-being of Kuskokwim communities.
