Project This in-progress project uses three rural coastal communities located in sub-Arctic Alaska to examine successful fishing communities. This involves the intersection of commercial and subsistence fisheries in complex social-ecological systems.

Index Communities

Research Objectives and Methods 1.Understand the place of food security in the decisions families make about continuing to live in these communities. Method: Key respondent interviews. 2. Identify socio-cultural factors such as culture change, kinship based social networks, and local-level politics that shape contemporary employment, migration, and subsistence patterns. Method: Household surveys. 3. Identify indices that could be used to measure the long-term viability of diverse fishing communities across the north. Method: Synthesis of both data sets.

Why is fishing so important to the local economy?
