Community-driven research on marine harvested and farmed species
Interface of Change is the sixth phase of 樱花导航 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 樱花导航.
Resilience in the Gulf of 樱花导航
Interface of Change centers partnerships between researchers, Gulf of 樱花导航 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 樱花导航.
Partnering with Gulf of 樱花导航 coastal communities
Interface of Change brings together researchers from the University of 樱花导航 Anchorage, University of 樱花导航 Fairbanks, and the University of 樱花导航 Southeast in partnership with Gulf of 樱花导航 community members from Seldovia, 樱花导航r, Cordova, Valdez, Juneau, Haines, and Klukwan.
We're looking for people who hold an interest in coastal ecologies, food security, and developing economies in this region to get involved in the Interface of Change project. We offer opportunities to provide feedback on our work, funding, and we invite collaboration. We welcome you to reach out if you are interested in partnering with us.
