NOAA Live! Alaska Season 5: 2024-25
NOAA Live! Alaska is a series of webinars that connects NOAA scientists and partners with students, teachers, and Alaska communities. In 2024-25, we are featuring NOAA programs and partners in Alaska communities.
NOAA Live! Alaska is a series of interactive webinars, aimed at Alaska students in grades 2-8 (but of interest to all ages!). We will feature NOAA scientists, educators and partners to explore NOAA’s work in Alaska. Learn about current research. Connect to what’s going on in your communities. Join us to ask questions to our presenters and learn more about weather, oceanography, marine life, fisheries and more in Alaska!
NOAA Live! Alaska is coordinated by NOAA's Alaska Fisheries Science Center, NOAA's Alaska Regional Collaboration Network, and the National Weather Service. The series is modeled on the NOAA Live! webinars coordinated by Woods Hole Sea Grant and the NOAA Regional Collaboration Network.

Chum salmon is a non-human relative and food source for many Alaska Native communities and critical resource for various fishing sectors across Alaska. Come join us to discuss the importance of Indigenous-led research and youth engagement in fisheries research. We will also talk about how bridging Western and Indigenous knowledge systems can create a better understanding of the health of salmon populations.
