What a nice present just before Christmas! Jenn has heard back from all of the Coastal Voices Steering Committee members as well as the community leaders and liaisons from the Kyuquot-Chekleset First Nation and Port Graham / Nanwalek Sugpiaq Tribes who have reviewed and approved the draft manuscript that describes all the analysis, results, and interpretations from the community surveys and workshops we did in 2016. The title of the paper is “Enabling coexistence: Navigating predator-induced regime shifts in human-ocean systems” and we look forward to submitting it for publication in 2019. We’ll also be creating a summary report for the communities so we can share these findings more widely. Stay tuned!
