The Institute of Northern Engineering (INE) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the Bureau of Land Management Arctic Field Office are offering this grant to conduct essential field data collection and observations at Arctic lakes. This initiative is crucial for supporting informed management decisions and effective monitoring efforts related to the protection of vital fish habitats amidst ongoing oil and gas surface activities. The grant specifically addresses the potential negative impacts of winter liquid water and ice chip removal from lakes, which can severely compromise fish overwintering habitats and hinder access during the open-water season. The collected data will contribute to sustainable resource management and safeguard sensitive aquatic ecosystems in Alaska’s Arctic.
