SUMMARY:Alaska Seaweed Genetics Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nThe 2024 Alaska Seaweed Genetics Workshop presentation slides are now linked in agenda. (Please note\, not all slides are available.)\nOn behalf of Alaska Sea Grant\, the Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation\, and the Alaska Mariculture Research and Training Center\, we would like to invite you to the Alaska Seaweed Genetics Workshop in Juneau\, Alaska\, April 1–2. Be a part of the conversation among scientists and the mariculture industry as we illuminate areas of research to support the sustainable management of seaweed aquaculture. \nAs a precaution to protect genetic diversity in seaweed populations\, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game has created the 50–50 Rule for the state of Alaska that mandates that collected sorus tissue for mariculture operations must be collected from more than 50 parent individuals from within 50 km of the outplanting site. With these rules in place and only a few kelp hatcheries in the state\, it can be temporally and economically costly to grow seaweed in Alaska. Fifty kilometers is small when Alaska has roughly 76\,000 kilometers of coastline—more than California\, Oregon\, and Washington combined. Alaska has received significant funding to grow from a $1 million to a $100 million industry in the next 20 years\, so how do we move forward while still preserving genetic diversity? \nOur goal is to facilitate a conversation with scientists and managers inside and outside Alaska to learn how other regions address these challenges. We hope to synthesize the state of knowledge to inform management practices that can support industry growth without harming wild stocks. \nThe conference will be held at the Centennial Hall and Convention Center in Juneau\, Alaska. The Baranof by Best Western Downtown Juneau has kindly provided a discounted room rate for the days of the workshop. Please use the link below to reserve your room. The last day to book with the link to guarantee this group rate is March 1\, 2024. \nhttps://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/book/hotel-rooms.02019.html?groupId=2Z6VV2C8 \nNote to event speakers\, presenters and panelists: The event sessions on April 1–2 may be recorded and shared online to educate those unable to attend. \nRegistration\nThe registration fee for the Alaska Seaweed Genetics Workshop is $50. The fee is waived for students\, speakers\, and current Alaskan farmers/processor\, by entering the registration code SGW24. (Registration deadline is Tuesday\, March 26\, 2024.) \nAgenda (link to pdf)                               Abstracts (link to pdf) \n                  \n  \n\nContact \nAlaska Seaweed Genetics Workshop: contact Jessica Whitney\nAlaska Sea Grant Mariculture Specialist: contact Melissa Good\nAlaska Fisheries Development Foundation: contact Hannah Wilson \n\nAlaska Sea Grant accommodation and code of conduct\nAlaska Sea Grant is committed to providing safe and welcoming environments for all who participate in activities\, meetings\, or events.

SUMMARY:Daak Ḵusteeyí 2024 — Our way of life by the sea
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous Aquaculture Collaborative Gathering\nMay 8–11\, 2024\nSheet’Ká (Sitka)\, Alaska \nIf you are attending this event\, please check out the Agenda\, Frequently Asked Questions\,  Travel Guide\, and Sitka Restaurants documents for helpful information. \nIndigenous Aquaculture systems have existed for millennia\, and continue to unite cultural practices and ecosystems\, as well as deepen place-based food connections. Join our hosts\, Sitka Tribe of Alaska and Central Council Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska\, on Lingít Aaní\, where we will gather and connect on the shores of Sheet’Ká\, the traditional territory of Sheet’Ká Kwáan. This event is open to all Tribal members\, First Nations and Native communities\, as well as members of the Indigenous Aquaculture Collaborative Network. \nIndigenous Aquaculture refers to biocultural systems of management found in coastal places by Native communities. These cultivated ecosystems are based on Indigenous knowledge and place-based observations of the land and water. These systems strengthen community access to traditional and customary foods and increase local seafood production. They serve to deepen relationships and create solutions for climate adaptation and coastal restoration. \nWe are a collaborative network of Pacific-region Sea Grant programs; Northwest Tribes and First Nations\, Native Hawaiian and Indigenous communities; and organizations and universities working as a community of practice to advance Indigenous Aquaculture. We integrate community engagement\, restoration\, applied research\, and education to share experiences\, knowledge\, and strategies that enhance local and cultural seafood production in the broader Pacific region. The focal knowledge\, practices\, and relationships of our network are part of deep heritages that are rooted in local bays\, inlets\, watersheds\, and islands. While these cultural ecosystems have been here for a very long time\, our collaborative cross-Pacific network started in 2019\, building upon our existing relationships. As a network\, we share the living traditions from our unique places to develop cross-cultural learning and support collective efforts. \nRegistration\nDue to the overwhelming response\, we have reached the registration limit for this event. We are currently compiling a waiting list for those still interested in participating. If you have registered but are now unable to attend in person\, or if your plans change at any point before the event\, please let us know by emailing Ashley Dunker. This will allow us to offer your spot to others in need. \nEvent information\nThe agenda is in progress and will be shared here when available. Events will begin with a welcome dinner on Wednesday\, May 8\, 2024\, starting at 5 pm\, and conclude with a farewell dinner on May 10. Breakfast will be provided at the Sitka Fine Arts Camp cafeteria on Saturday\, May 11. \nDaak Kusteeyí will feature opportunities to share stories and foods from all of our communities. Please consider bringing a sample of culturally important foods and/or stories from your community to share at the gathering. Daak Kusteeyí will have nearly 150 people\, but please bring what you can in any amount. We imagine a gathering where everyone won’t try everything\, but everyone will be able to try something. These foods and stories are excellent gifts in substitution of gifts for the hosting Tribes. Please email Lindsey Pierce with any questions. \nLodging\nThe deadline for booking in reserved room blocks for this event has passed. If you have any questions about lodging\, please email Ashley Dunker. \nOption 1: Dorm lodging at Sitka Fine Arts Camp for $93/night for a double-occupancy room (includes taxes and fees) can be reserved and paid for as part of your online registration for the gathering. The cost is per room\, and if sharing\, only one individual in a room should add this to their registration. All rooms have 2 twin beds\, 2 desks\, 2 chairs\, and 2 dressers. Each floor shares two bathrooms (accessible bathrooms are available). Bed linens and towels are provided\, but not toiletries (soap\, shampoo\, toothpaste\, etc.). \nOption 2: A discounted room block at the Westmark Sitka is available\, for a limited time or until filled\, for $149/night single/double plus room taxes and fees\, by calling (907) 747-6241 or 1-800-544-0970 and mentioning the group name “Indigenous Aquaculture Collaborative.” \nOption 3: If you would prefer not to stay at either of these locations\, VisitSitka provides a variety of suggestions. \nMeals\nAll meals are provided for registrants\, starting with dinner on March 8 through breakfast on March 11. Breakfasts and lunches will be served at the Sitka Fine Arts Camp cafeteria\, and dinners will be catered.

SUMMARY:Alaska Seaweed Handling and Processing Workshop: Kelp Stabilization Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:  \nAlaska Sea Grant and GreenWave invite kelp farmers\, processors and industry members to apply to participate in a free one-day demonstration of primary processing and stabilization technology for raw kelp. \nFresh seaweed degrades rapidly after harvesting\, inhibiting farmers and processors from bringing a quality product to market in sufficient quantity. To solve this problem\, Alaska Sea Grant\, GreenWave\, Macro Oceans\, Kodiak Archipelago Leadership Institute and Alaska Ocean Farms have partnered to develop an open-source primary processing line capable of stabilizing kelp at ambient temperature as close to the farm as possible. If successful\, this technology could be deployed in rural communities across Alaska\, allowing remote kelp farms to extend the shelf life of their product and secure access to markets. \nThe demonstration will cover the design and operation of a processing line built to transform whole\, wet\, freshly harvested kelp into an intermediate chopped format to allow for easier handling and stabilization via reagents\, fermentation or drying. Macro Oceans will provide stabilization reagents to be homogenized with the chopped kelp\, and the end product will then be shipped to Macro Oceans’ facility in California to be monitored for stability. \nThe results from this trial will be made public\, and project partners will make the processing line design and operating parameters freely available for the benefit of all Alaskans\, particularly rural and Indigenous communities. \nTravel funding is available. Priority will be given to Alaska residents\, members of rural and Indigenous communities\, and active kelp farmers. \nApplications must be received by February 29. \nFor questions\, contact Melissa Good. \nThis demonstration is funded as part of an Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation Joint Innovation Grant. Project partners include Alaska Sea Grant\, GreenWave\, Macro Oceans\, Kodiak Archipelago Leadership Institute\, and Alaska Ocean Farms. Read the full project proposal here. \nApproved applicants will be notified by March 7. \nGo to application \n
