On St. Paul Island there’s a model for how partnerships between Tribes and the federal government might guide Alaska’s marine mammals – and the people who depend on them – through dramatic climate shifts.
That’s important because the changing climate means a decrease or even a crash in other subsistence foods, like halibut and crabs, respectively.
Lauren Divine is the director of the ecosystem office for the Tribal government on St. Paul. She says the federal regulation change was a milestone. Now the Tribe runs a research project on northern fur seals. “We’re leading as a Tribal government, rather than kind of supplementing something that NOAA is doing,” she said. “This is something that addresses our Tribal member concerns, and is led and funded by our Tribal government.”
She says federal management needs to do more to keep up with climate change, but recent co-management decisions have given her hope for the future.I believe every Alaskan has a right to timely information about their health and health systems, and their natural environment and its management. My goal is to report thoughtful stories that inform, inspire and quench the curiosity of listeners across the state.
