The Chugach Imaq Project
The Chugach Imaq Project is going to inform future research and management to protect marine mammals and safeguard cultural, economic, and subsistence needs. Imaq comes from the Sugt’stun language meaning the ocean and the contents within it. This project will identify and mitigate threats to marine mammals and human health through genetic analysis of subsistence-harvested marine mammals, conduct subsistence harvest surveys, ethnographic interviews, stock assessments, build community capacity and resilience, and empower community subsistence resource management. The Chugach Imaq project had its kickoff workshop this fall in Cordova!
