A WORD FROM

Your River Guide

I am a lifelong Alaskan who grew up along the shores of the salmon stream behind my Anchorage home, and spent summers in Prince William Sound where my passion for salmon and salmon-ecosystems has been a part of my identity for as long as I can remember. Although trained as an evolutionary ecologist, the work that I and my students do increasingly incorporates the need to sustain not only the salmon and their habitats but also the connections between salmon and people. This course is an examination and celebration of those connections that have sustained Alaskans for millennia.
