One is a place-based climate vulnerability assessment of the Hooper Bay region in partnership with the Native Village of Paimuit. Other participants include the Native Village of Hooper Bay, the City of Hooper Bay, and the Lower Yukon School District. This project bridges Western science with Indigenous Knowledge to create climate adaption strategies for the regions mostly Yupik communities. The second project demonstrates that beavers are a nature-based solution to rewetting drying and dried peatlands in the southern Kenai Peninsula. In partnership with the University of Alaska Anchorage, the Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, and the University of South Florida, AWA has deployed test sites, and the project team is measuring for beavers impacts on the hydrology of the peatlands. 95257 Belugas-AWA spearheaded a project with partners to create a map visualizing the extent of threats to endangered Cook Inlet beluga habitat. The data included legal harrassment permits, shipping routes, oil and gas infrastructure, and permitted mixing zones. The mapping project was presented at the Alaska Marine Science Symposium. The project identifed that the State of Alaska does not track all discharges into the belugas habitat and our concern about the lack of information on contaminants being dumped into the habitat led to our co-hosting the first Cook Inlet Water Quality Summit in October 2023. The Summit was attended by over 150 people representing over 80 organizations and agencies. AWA also worked to determine if enough food is available for the recovery of the Cook Inlet beluga population. AWA also partners with Alaska Beluga Whale Monitoring Program. Finally, AWA partnered with Eagle Scout Troup to reduce propeller strikes and noise in the Kenai River. 43308 Voices for Wildlife- AWA submitted 11 proposals to the Alaska Board of Game. Ten of these sought remedies for the faulty wolf trapping regulations in Prince of Wales in southeast Alaska. One requested 1/4 mile hunting and trapping setbacks from soon-to-be-constructed under and overpasses on the Sterling Highway which are designed to reduce wildlife mortality. The Board of Game passed our trapping setback proposal and strengthened it by prohibiting any taking of wildlife within the setback. While AWA considers lawsuits as a last resort, we are defending Alaska wildlife in six different courtcases. A 2023 victory disallowed the bait barrel luring of brown bears in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. On going cases feature helicopter bear shooting in southwest Alaska, harassment of polar bears and walrus by oil and gas operators in Beaufort Sea, a federal rule allowing extreme sport hunting practices, and the Ambler road project which threatens caribou migrations. 22993 Wolf film-In the spring, filming was completed for the documentary A Good Wolf, which portrays the controversy over hunting and trapping of wolves at the boundary of Denali National Park. Film screenings in Alaska and around the country will begin in 2024. 22993 271542 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 6 true false true false false false false true true false true true true false false false true true false X Koteff Accounting Group 7193518393 721 Depot Drive Anchorage AK 99501 Nicole Schmitt Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 87200 0 0 Estelle Thomson Director 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kneeland Taylor Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Suzanne Marcy Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Diane Taylor Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Morton Vice President 3.85 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Carol Damburg President 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Edward Schmitt Treasurer 3.85 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Peter Ehrhardt Secretary 3.85 0.00 X X 0 0 0 87200 0 0 0 false false false 553835 25569 553835 2616 2616 10558 27120 -16562 -16562 1030 2973 -1943 -1943 537946 -1943 0 -13946 X 38735 38735 87199 55098 32101 14700 14700 8233 5626 2607 46 46 8004 8004 128414 114512 9702 4200 3523 2842 32 649 2294 1686 517 91 1201 35 1166 7253 7253 1366 1366 5889 5287 602 Bank fees 1082 8 1060 14 Program expense 23228 22655 135 438 Dues & subscriptions 2597 1693 575 329 333764 271542 56501 5721 160179 279968 5441 88087 1423 165620 369478 6460 4680 6460 4680 X 135338 189151 23822 175647 159160 364798 165620 369478 204182 1456 0 X false false false X 154810 93131 143696 304670 553836 1250143 154810 93131 143696 304670 553836 1250143 66487 1183656 110 40 3 2616 2769 144 80 224 1253136 0.94460 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true University of Alaska 3211 Providence Drive Anchorage AK 99508 926000147 University 7147 Research for beaver climate project University of South Florida 4202 E Fowler Avenue Tampa FL 33620 592684166 501c4 30502 Research for beaver climate project 2 2 Monitoring procedures (Part I, line 2) Grantees submit written progress reports annually with phone progress check-ins done semi-annually.
