“The Alaska SeaLife Center is one of the largest employers in Seward,” says Jason Bickling, executive director of the Seward Chamber of Commerce, “If it closes that will have a huge impact on our citizens and the vacant building, because it’s such a unique facility, would be a weight on the city.”
The PhD-level marine scientists’ research inside the facility has also been impacted by the pandemic. “Some of the projects are not happening this summer, some are just happening with a lot of PPE and some, like the remote cameras we have monitoring Steller sea lions on Chiswell Island, haven’t been impacted much at all.

The rehabilitation of injured animals is a small part of the ASLC’s wildlife response efforts. It also stands ready to act upon oil spill rescue and other unusual events allowing them to generate and share scientific knowledge about the stewardship of Alaska’s marine ecosystem. Its main goal is to learn from live and dead stranded animals to better understand wild populations and maintain capacity to respond to natural or manmade disasters.
