The art will be displayed during the entire week of KAMSS (April 19-23) downtown at the Kodiak History Museum and the Kodiak Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center. Photos of the display will be shared through the KAMSS 2021 Poster page and on the 4-H event page.

Last year KAMSS was canceled due to COVID-19. This year we are happy to come together in April 2021 through our virtual event. KAMSS 2021 will be the 4th regional symposium that connects the Kodiak community to the marine science research around them. \nHosted by the Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program with support from regional partners and contributors\, KAMSS provides a forum for researchers to share findings within the research community and to the general public. The symposium offers opportunity for stakeholders to engage and understand how Kodiak’s marine environment and resources function\, change\, and affect our lives and livelihoods and offers a venue for researchers to plan for integrated\, cooperative and community-inspired marine research. \nPatterned after the preceding symposiums\, KAMSS 2021 oral and poster presentations will span a variety of marine science and related fields pertinent to our healthy coastal  community. Sessions will be organized thematically and delivered over the course of the week via Zoom. The sessions will be based on abstracts submitted for KAMSS 2020. \nDetails from previous KAMSS events\, including links to the programs and abstracts\, can be viewed by visiting KAMSS 2017. \nKeynote\nDr. Steven Barbeaux \nMonday\, April 19  •  6pm\nDr. Steven Barbeaux\nHeatwave impacts on the Gulf of Alaska Pacific cod \nPacific cod has been an important food and economic resource in Alaska for millennia. The population declined through the mid-2000s\, however a series of high recruitments starting in 2006 helped the stock recover. In the beginning of 2014\, the future for Pacific cod in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) looked bright\, with the fishery earning on average $103 million. From 2014–2016\, an unprecedented warming event triggered changes in the GOA ecosystem\, and continued declines resulted in the closure of the fishery in 2020. This talk will describe how changes in the ecosystem during the heatwave affected the GOA Pacific cod stock and how this stock may fair in a warming world. \nA graduate of the University of Washington School of Fisheries\, Dr. Barbeaux works as a research fisheries biologist at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center in Seattle\, and is the lead stock assessment author for the Gulf of Alaska Pacific cod stock. Steve was raised in a fishing family on the Great Lakes\, and still has close family fishing there. He began his career with NOAA as a contracted fisheries observer in Alaska in 1996\, and has been employed as a research fisheries biologist with the Status of Stocks and Multispecies Assessment Program since 2002. \nCall for abstracts\nKAMSS 2021 will feature presentations submitted under the 2020 Call for Abstracts. \nSteering committee\n\nJulie Matweyou (chair)\, University of Alaska Fairbanks\, Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program\, Kodiak\nJulie Bonney\, Alaska Groundfish Data Bank\, Kodiak\nRobin Corcoran\, US Fish and Wildlife Service\, Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge\, Kodiak\nBrian Himelbloom\, University of Alaska Fairbanks (retired)\, Kodiak\nTyler Kornelis\, Kodiak Area Native Association\, Kodiak\nMike Litzow\, NOAA Fisheries\, Alaska Fisheries Science Center\, Kodiak\nJo Ellen Lottsfeldt\, Resident and MA student through Miami University\, Kodiak-Anchorage\nMolly Odell\, Alutiiq Museum\, Kodiak\nTheresa Peterson\, Alaska Marine Conservation Council\, Kodiak\nNick Sagalkin\, Alaska Department of Fish and Game\, Kodiak\nCindy Trussell\, University of Alaska Anchorage\, Kodiak College\, Kodiak\nMatthew Van Daele\, Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak\, Kodiak\nNathan Weber\, Kodiak Regional Aquaculture Association\, Kodiak
