Title:

Togiak Field Report for the Local and Traditional Knowledge component of the Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: document

Description:

Abstract:

This dataset contains detailed summary notes from local and traditional knowledge interviews conducted in Togiak. The basic topics focused on during the interviews were identified from the BSIERP research plan, including seabirds, walrus, sea ice and climate, and general ecosystem patterns.

Purpose:

The Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Project (BSIERP, bsierp.nprb.org) examines the fish, seabirds, marine mammals, and people sustained by the Bering Sea. The Local and Traditional Knowledge (LTK) component adds a local human dimension to the overall project, though harvest surveys and monitoring and through interviews with hunters, fishers, and elders. The LTK work is being done in Akutan, St. Paul, Togiak, Emmonak, and Savoonga. This set of notes is from the interviews held in Togiak in February 2009 and February 2010.
