Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units Program: Alaska
Education, Research and Technical Assistance for Managing Our Natural Resources

Alaska Diversity and Inclusion

Nate Cathcart, research technician with the Alaska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, conducts a snorkel survey for juvenile Chinook salmon within a logjam along the Chena River, Alaska.

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice are vital to our mission in the Cooperative Research Units. We are dedicated to building a culture of inclusivity and respect through graduate education, research, and technical assistance. We oppose discrimination and racism in all of their forms and embrace diversity as a source of strength, ingenuity, and inspiration. We also acknowledge, with respect, that the lands and waters on which we perform research and teaching are the traditional and ancestral homelands of Indigenous Nations and peoples.
