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. Accommodation requests related to a disability should be made at least five business days in advance to sea.grant@alaska.edu.

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

SUMMARY:Beginning kelp farmer business planning\, marketing and processing
DESCRIPTION:  \nAlaska Sea Grant\, in partnership with the Kodiak Archipelago Leadership Institute and Alaska Ocean Farms\, is hosting an in-person workshop October 30 and 31 at the Kodiak Seafood and Marine Science Center. \nDuring this two-day workshop we will focus on kelp farms currently permitted or pending in the Kodiak archipelago\, with maps that show location and ownership. This information will support a regional strategy session on increasing the number of kelp farm permits issued to rural and Alaska native residents in the region. \nThe first day of the workshop will cover kelp farm capital and operating costs to assist in developing a start-up and operating budget. This information will be used to demonstrate how to calculate your farm’s break-even price-per-pound. Information will also be provided on potential access to capital opportunities. \nThe second day will concentrate on marketing and processing\, with an overview of processing methods currently being used in Alaska\, and some fun hands-on learning stations in the afternoon. \nWe encourage both Tribal and Alaska Native Corporation leadership to participate alongside the Kodiak region’s beginning rural and Alaska Native kelp farmers. The more we learn together as leaders and farmers the more we can continue to build our regional community around kelp. \nMaterials for activities will be provided and lunches included. Space is limited to 20 participants\, selected based upon applicant review. Scholarships are available upon request. \nAll interested persons requesting travel assistance must submit a brief application by October 11. If you are not applying for travel assistance\, your application must be received by October 16. \nIf you have questions about the workshop\, travel assistance\, or the application\, please contact Melissa Good. \nApply now
