Outreach, Outreach, Outreach!

Well it has been awhile since my last posting on here, and I apologize for that. I have been busy over the past 6 months, skippering the Eyak troll tender over the summer, writing up a manuscript from interviews with Polish cod fishermen in 2014, and conducting outreach events around Alaska! I have been to Seward, Petersburg, Cordova, and Homer to speak with folks about halibut fishing, the Observer Program, and data collection on the water. In November, I head to Kodiak to discuss this more with residents, as well as attend the Ocean Boogie hosted by the Alaska Marine Conservation Council! I will put up more information about the Polish work in the coming months. For now, check out my flyer (below). If you happen to be in Kodiak on November 10th/11th, see you there!

Alaska seafood again tests free of Fukushima radiation

Alaska Dispatch News By Chris Klint November 30, 201 For a second year, seafood taken from Alaska waters has tested negative for radiation from Japan’s 2011 Fukushima tsunami and nuclear disaster, state officials say. The Department of Environmental Conservation said Monday that the tests show no appreciable iodine-131, cesium-137 or cesium-134 in samples of cod, halibut, herring, pollock, sablefish and king, chum, sockeye and pink salmon. The fish were collected from the Aleutian Islands and the Bering Sea, the Gulf of Alaska, Bristol Bay and Southeast Alaska, following negative test results on Alaska seafood last year. Scientists had suggested that Fukushima radiation in water might peak in 2015. “The testing in 2015 continues to confirm that the quality of Alaska seafood has not been impacted, with all tests showing ‘non-detect’ for radionuclides associated with the Fukushima nuclear disaster,” DEC officials wrote.
