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.

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

SUMMARY:Alaska Shellfish and Seaweed Festival
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce the Alaska Shellfish and Seaweed Festival\, taking place virtually on Zoom and streamed live on Facebook from coastal communities around the state. Leading up to the event and during the week of the festival\, if you order seafood products from participating businesses\, you’ll receive a special gift package that includes recipe cards\, a shucking knife\, and other mariculture related goodies. \nHosted by the Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program\, the Alaska Shellfish and Seaweed Festival celebrates and raises awareness of the sustainably grown and harvested seafood products available right here in Alaska. Mariculture is an emerging industry in Alaska\, and this festival provides an opportunity to learn about what it’s like to run an oyster or seaweed farm\, where to find quality shellfish and seaweed products in your communities\, and interesting and delicious ways to cook Alaska’s fresh\, locally grown mariculture foods. \nThe Alaska Shellfish and Seaweed Festival is free and open to the public. Registrants will receive a reminder email with online participation information and the schedule of events. \nRegister now \nIs your business interested in participating in this event or being added to our Alaska-grown shellfish and seaweed directory? Please contact Hannah Wilson (information below). \nThe event kicks off with an introduction to mariculture from Melissa Good\, Alaska Sea Grant’s mariculture specialist. Lexa Meyer\, Alaska Sea Grant’s seafood workforce development coordinator and Alaska Mariculture Manager at Blue Evolution\, will give an overview of seaweed farming. James Greeley\, operations manager and oyster farmer at Tommaso Shellfish\, will share information about oyster farming.  \nThe second and third days of the event will feature video tours of Alaska oyster and seaweed farms\, and live online cooking demonstrations. Festival attendees can watch from the comfort of their own homes to learn how Alaska grown oysters and kelp are grown\, harvested\, and transformed into delicious entrees and condiments.  \nThe final day of the event will feature discussions about the market for shellfish and seaweed\, the future of mariculture in Alaska\, and how communities and individuals can get involved. Marine aquaculture creates jobs\, supports resilient working waterfronts and coastal communities\, and provides new international trade opportunities.

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
