SUMMARY:Alaska Seafood Processing Leadership Institute\, Fall 2022
DESCRIPTION:Important: If you have submitted an online application but have not received a direct follow-up response from us\, or are unsure if your spot is confirmed\, please contact us immediately. \nDo you have an employee who\, with key training\, could help lead your business into the future? The Alaska Seafood Processing Leadership Institute (ASPLI) offers 80 hours of intensive professional development for employees recognized as having potential to move up in your company. The institute is designed for mid-level managers in a seafood plant—production managers\, QC supervisors\, seafood engineers\, human resources\, and corporate or administrative personnel identified by their employer as having leadership potential. Others who might benefit include direct marketers\, small seafood processors or others closely involved in the seafood industry. ASPLI provides the technical training needed in the seafood industry to master leadership and management skills. \nSession 1 of ASPLI runs November 7–11 at the UAF Kodiak Seafood and Marine Science Center\, where participants will learn from seafood faculty and local experts. Topics include the science of seafood\, shelf life\, quality and safety of Alaska’s fishery products\, product development\, lean manufacturing\, new technologies\, and seafood marketing. Participants will get hands-on experience in the KSMSC pilot plant\, and local seafood plant managers will offer perspectives on the seafood industry and management. \nSee ASPLI sample agenda (PDF; from previous event\, subject to revision). \nAfter the Kodiak session\, ASPLI participants will return to their jobs and work with an in-house mentor to identify and complete a project that has an impact on plant operations. \nThe final ASPLI session will convene in Anchorage\, March 6–10\, 2023\, focused on leadership training\, project management\, human resources\, regulatory environment\, and developing effective management styles. Experienced seafood leaders\, government regulators\, and management consultants will lead the classes. The goal is to develop confidence\, skills\, and the big-picture understanding needed by tomorrow’s managers. \nThe fee for this program is $2\,200 per person. Employers will be responsible for airfare and lodging to and from the training sites. University of Alaska Fairbanks vocational training funds will partially offset the cost of ASPLI. The full value of this training program is estimated at $6\,000 per person. \nIf you have an employee who would benefit from ASPLI and you wish to be a sponsor\, direct the prospective ASPLI participant to fill out and submit an online application.

SUMMARY:People on the Move in a Changing Climate
DESCRIPTION:  \nFunded by the National Science Foundation (NSF)\, People on the Move in a Changing Climate (PEMOCC) is a Sea Grant-led Research Coordination Network that fosters collaboration among diverse experts and stakeholders to address research needs related to climate-induced human mobility\, its socioeconomic consequences\, and its role in building resilience and adaptation to the impacts of climate change in US coastal and Great Lakes regions. \nDespite increased reference to the link between climate change and human mobility\, which includes displacement\, migration and planned relocation\, there is a lack of knowledge on how socioeconomic\, cultural\, political\, and environmental processes impact these population shifts. PEMOCC leverages Sea Grant’s trusted relationships with local communities to facilitate transdisciplinary collaborations among researchers\, practitioners\, resource managers and coastal stakeholders to improve understanding of how climate change drives human populations both towards and away from coastal regions in the U.S. \nThis workshop in Anchorage is the final workshop in a series of workshops held across the U.S. This workshop will focus on Alaska\, the Pacific Northwest\, and Pacific Island regions\, and provide case studies of climate induced human mobility across the world. This includes both areas where coastal residents are moving away from the coasts\, and those areas where we might see receiving communities. \nAgenda\nThe agenda is now available (April 6\, 2023.) \n  \nWalking map of Downtown Anchorage\n\nTravel assistance\nTravel assistance is no longer available. \nRegister now \n  \n \nMeeting lead: Davin Holen\, Coastal Community Resilience Specialist\nAlaska Sea Grant and Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy \n  \n  \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:Seaweed drying forum: Meeting Alaska’s drying capacity needs
DESCRIPTION:  \nAs capacity increases within Alaska’s mariculture industry to meet benchmarks for growth\, the state is becoming better equipped to tackle remaining industry-wide roadblocks. One such challenge is local seaweed processing capacity and know-how. Industry entrepreneurs and workers have questions about logistics and transport\, technology\, capacity\, and community needs. \nTo talk through some of these issues\, Alaska Sea Grant\, Alaska Mariculture Alliance\, and Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation are hosting an online discussion on seaweed drying. Please join us at 9:00 am on July 28 to hear from industry experts on seaweed drying equipment\, processing and markets\, community capacity and needs\, and how seaweed processing can be supported by the U.S. Economic Development Administration Build Back Better project. Panels will be followed by Q&A. \nIf you are interested in learning more about processing seaweed in Alaska\, we would love to see you at this online event. \nAgenda — Seaweed drying forum \nYou can view the recordings here\, or choose the option to watch on YouTube to access links to individual presentations. \n \n \n  \n\n
