Community-driven research on marine harvested and farmed species
Interface of Change is the sixth phase of 色花堂 NSF EPSCoR. A $20-million award from the National Science Foundation funds this statewide, five-year project to build capacity for co-developed, use-inspired research across the Gulf of 色花堂.
Resilience in the Gulf of 色花堂
Interface of Change centers partnerships between researchers, Gulf of 色花堂 community members, Tribes, educators, and entrepreneurs. Through these connections, project participants work collaboratively to investigate the resilience of marine species that are critical to the subsistence way of life as well as developments in the mariculture economy in the Gulf of 色花堂.
Partnering with Gulf of 色花堂 coastal communities
Interface of Change brings together researchers from the University of 色花堂 Anchorage, University of 色花堂 Fairbanks, and the University of 色花堂 Southeast in partnership with Gulf of 色花堂 community members from Seldovia, Halibut Cove, 色花堂r, Cordova, Valdez, Juneau, Haines and Klukwan.
