Community Shellfish Harvest
The Sitka Tribe of Alaska Environmental Research Lab is able to test community shellfish samples for free! Community members should submit a Community Harvest Form along with their sample.
If you are able to coordinate with community members, SEATOR can cover the cost of shipping for community samples. This means, you will need to be the responsible party for shipping. Contact Kari for more details!
Other Resources
At the workshop we discussed a few resources for you that may be helpful in grant writing and community planning. These include the Rural Capacity Index Map, and Community Economic Profile System. These resources can be found on the Community Resource page!
