Our office manages and studies loons, seabirds, waterfowl, raptors, shorebirds, and landbirds to help conserve migratory bird populations in Alaska. We also help administer several conservation grant programs that distribute funds to the Sate of Alaska and Alaskan tribes from Congressional appropriations or excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment. Our commitment towards developing diverse partnerships to more effectively manage and conserve wildlife populations is exemplified by our participation in the Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council.
