Alaska fishermen are reporting everything from water temperature to marine debris to strange lacerations on fish.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska has more than 33,000 miles of shoreline — more than one-third of all shoreline of the United States. Research in Alaska waters is fairly common but with so much water surrounding the state, big data gaps are inevitable.
“Skipper Science specifically works with fishing and commercial fishing industries and communities across the state of Alaska,” Indigenous Sentinels Network Coordinator Hannah-Marie Garcia said. “Fishermen are really able to become citizen scientists and catalog conditions that they’re seeing shift, whether that’s species shifts, the health of fishery stocks and other environmental conditions, in a really streamlined and easy way,” Garcia said.
The information that’s already been collected ranges from environmental data to specifics about species of fish.
