AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoOcean Research: A nearly $600,000 study will equip 20 Southeast Alaska troll boats with sensors and electronic logbooks to track how underwater temperatures and depths shape salmon catches. Researchers hope the data can help explain why fish gather in some waters and not others. Fishing Impacts: Industrial pollock trawlers catch an average of about 18,000 Chinook and 288,000 other salmon annually in the Bering Sea, according to a decade of data. The bycatch is intensifying debate over trawling’s toll on Alaska fisheries and communities. Critical Minerals: UAF researchers have joined a $6 million effort to extract valuable minerals from coal waste. Space and Energy: NASA’s administrator visited UAF to highlight Alaska’s role in future space missions, while Juneau geothermal systems are helping train workers for the state’s energy industry.
