SUMMARY:Sea Grant fellowship opportunities and experiences
DESCRIPTION:Alaska Sea Grant director Ginny Eckert will provide an overview and take questions about upcoming Alaska Sea Grant fellowship opportunities for graduate students\, including the Knauss Fellowship and Alaska Sea Grant State Fellowship. Prospective applicants can hear first-hand accounts from recent fellows about their experiences and ask questions. \nThe Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship provides a unique educational and professional experience to graduate students who have an interest in ocean\, coastal and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources. The fellowship\, named after one of Sea Grant’s founders and former NOAA Administrator John A. Knauss\, matches highly qualified graduate students with “hosts” in the legislative and executive branch of government located in the Washington\, D.C. area\, for a one year paid fellowship. \nThe Alaska Sea Grant State Fellowship program  provides an opportunity to acquire on-the-job experience in the planning and implementation of marine resource policies and programs in Alaska. The program matches highly motivated graduate students and recent graduates with hosts in Alaska-based organizations for a 12-month paid fellowship. \nPresenters:\nGinny Eckert\, Alaska Sea Grant Director\nMaya Becker\, Sea Grant Knauss Fellow in Senator Murkowski’s office\nTav Ammu\, Alaska Sea Grant State Fellow\, Clean Harbors program \nUse the link below to register for the seminar series.

SUMMARY:Building community capacity in kelp mariculture site suitability assessments
DESCRIPTION:Alaska has vast untapped habitat ideal for seaweed mariculture. Determining the relative suitability of sites for cultivating kelp is a complex calculation involving many factors of varying importance\, including conflict over area use\, geophysical aspects\, and biological requirements for effective farming. \nJoin Alaska Sea Grant’s mariculture specialist for a 1-hour webinar about a soon-to-be-released Site Assessment Toolkit (SAT) that promises to help current and prospective seaweed farmers more easily evaluate potential sites around Alaska. The presentation will include a demonstration of the SAT and an opportunity to ask questions. \nThis project is a joint effort of the UAF College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences\, Alaska Sea Grant\, and the Native Conservancy\, a nonprofit pioneering kelp farming in Prince William Sound and committed to revitalizing Native culture\, habitat\, health and spirituality. \n  \nRegister now \n  \n

SUMMARY:Alaska Aquaculture Permitting Portal and Guidance
DESCRIPTION:Join Alaska Sea Grant for a 1-hour webinar to talk about the newly launched Alaska Aquaculture Permitting Portal website and companion guidance booklet. \nCurrent and prospective aquatic farmers in Alaska have a valuable new resource to guide them through submitting\, amending\, renewing or transferring an aquatic farm application. NOAA Fisheries Alaska Region and Alaska Sea Grant have launched a web portal and printable guidance document to assist applicants through the aquatic farm leasing and permitting process in Alaska. \nReleased in time for the 2022 application cycle\, the website and manual have been developed with input and oversight from state and federal permitting agencies\, and provide not only step-by-step guidance through the permitting and renewal processes\, but also information on choosing a farm site\, resources for growers\, and an overview of governance of aquaculture in Alaska. \nHosted by Alaska Sea Grant\, join NOAA Fisheries Alaska Region Aquaculture Coordinator Alicia Bishop for a webinar that goes over how to use the new permitting portal and guidance document when submitting new aquatic farm applications or lease and permit renewals. \nRegister now

SUMMARY:Alaska Aquaculture Opportunity Areas information session
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an information session to learn more about designating Aquaculture Opportunity Areas (AOAs)\, and how you can help identify potential areas within Alaska that will become a focus for commercial aquaculture development. Registration for the information session is required. \nWith the help of stakeholder input\, NOAA will select 10 geographic regions nationwide. Once selected\, NOAA will use a combination of spatial mapping\, scientific review\, and additional public engagement to identify areas within the geographic regions for siting AOAs that are the most environmentally\, socially\, and economically appropriate for commercial aquaculture. This rigorous and collaborative analysis will identify areas where aquaculture projects are most likely to thrive. \nStakeholder input will be an important part of the selection process. This information session will prepare you to better understand and influence which areas may receive future AOA designation. We’ll share information about the AOA process\, benefits\, and concerns\, and take questions. \nIf you’re interested in reviewing NOAA’s AOA information prior to this information session\, visit Aquaculture Opportunity Areas | NOAA Fisheries. We look forward to seeing you. \nRegister now \n\nWhat is an AOA?\nAOAs are called for in the May 2020 Executive Order on Promoting American Seafood Competitiveness and Economic Growth. They are defined as geographic areas (state waters\, federal waters\, or a combination of both) that have been evaluated for their potential for sustainable commercial aquaculture. Selected areas are expected to support multiple aquaculture farm sites of varying types including finfish\, shellfish\, and/or seaweed. In Alaska\, finfish farming is banned in state waters per Alaska Statute 16.40.210. Thus\, AOAs for state waters would apply to aquaculture operations for seaweed\, shellfish\, and/or other pertinent species. \nThis information meeting may be recorded and shared for informational purposes\, and may incidentally include participant names\, faces\, comments\, and questions. \nPlease email Dawn Montano to be added to the aquaculture announcements list.
