​Yukon Kuskokwim Delta Environmental Risk Assessment
Alaskan Native villages are vulnerable to climate change, experiencing escalating rates of erosion, flooding, and failing infrastructures, with a cumulative cost in the millions of dollars. There is a critical need to develop short and long-term solutions that address the impacts of climate change and support Alaskans residing in environmentally threatened communities.

Blue Mussel Natural Resource Conservation Plan, Pilot Study, and Habitat Suitability Assessment
In Unalaska, the increase in algal blooms due to climate change has been causing blue mussel habitat to decline in quality and increases the instance of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins (PST) in mussels. As blue mussels are an important subsistence food for Unalaskan residents, increasing PST occurrences elevates the risk of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) in community members.

The Tribal Community Resilience Grant, previously known as the Tribal Climate Resilience Grant, is a competitive program that provides financial support to Tribes and Tribal organizations to address current or future impacts on conservation practices, food sovereignty, infrastructure, economies, and public health. Priority is given to Alaska Native Villages where environmental hazards pose high-risk.
