This category was specifically designed to advance the role of social sciences, citizen science and/or local or traditional knowledge in the analysis of interactions between humans, resource management, and the marine environment.
Connecting fishery policies to fishing portfolios MatthewReimer | University of Alaska Anchorage | $308,528 National Standard 8 (NS8) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that the design and evaluation of management policies account for the impact on fishing communities. This project proposes to examine the impacts of single- species fishery management changes on fishing portfolios of individuals and communities in Alaska. Effective co-management of marine mammals in Alaska Jennafer Malek | U.S. Marine Mammal Commission $172,336 Co-management of Alaska marine mammals is a key provision of the Marine Mammal Protection Act. This project will identify characteristics that increase the effectiveness of co-management by developing a mutually agreed-upon working definition of co-management across partners, review existing cooperative agreements to identify commonalities and differences, and identify essential components of, and key impediments to, effective co-management relationships.

Policy choices and permit migration in an LEP fishery Keith Criddle | University of Alaska Fairbanks | $99,355 Three aspects of the Limited Entry Permit (LEP) fisheries in Alaska will be explored by this study. Using statistical models fitted to time series panel data for Bristol Bay, the project will examine the consequences of recent regulatory changes that allow multiple limited entry permits to be fished from a single vessel, and the impact vessel size and capitalized value has in the fishery. Across Alaskan salmon fisheries, the project will determine the causes, consequences, and opportunity cost of remaining a local to a fishery.

Andrew Van Duyke | North Slope Borough | $275,770 This project will develop a framework to integrate Local or Traditional Knowledge and western science, through fully informed Bayesian state-space models of species habitat use and behavior. Methods will be applied to ringed, bearded, and spotted seals in Alaskan waters using satellite telemetry data and LTK for these species.
