Kawerak is offering travel scholarships to Tribal Members interested in traveling to Anchorage February 7-10 to provide in-person testimony at the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) meeting regarding Chum Bycatch in the pollock fishery.
In preparation for the February meeting, Kawerak is hosting a testimony development workshop, which will be required for travel scholarship recipients, but also open to others. The Chum Bycatch issue is critical to our region, and we hope you can join us for the workshop and at the February NPFMC meeting!
