The goal is to increase environmental literacy and resiliency within southcentral Alaska’s most vulnerable communities through workshops that enhance community-based monitoring programs and engage tribal Environmental Coordinators, local educators, and high school students in culturally responsive hazards education. Through the Southcentral Alaska Collaborative for Resilience through Education and Decision-making (SACRED) project, communities will establish sustainable long-term environmental monitoring programs and educational opportunities that involve youth in reducing risks from marine toxins and ensuring continued access to traditional foods and safe drinking water.","University of Alaska (UA-Fairbanks) / College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) Kachemak Bay, Chugach School District, Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, Chugachmiut, Chugach Regional Resources Commission, Seldovia Village Tribe, Kenai Peninsula Borough School District / Port Graham School, Alutiiq Pride Marine Institute, Prince William Sound College"
