This year, 36 grants, ranging from $1,100 to $40,000, will be implemented in 31 communities throughout Alaska, with some projects reaching out to dozens more communities through outreach efforts. Selected projects range in diversity from biological research studies to community outreach efforts. The Fish and Wildlife Service issued grants from as far north as Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge where the funds will protect subsistence lands through a traditional land use mapping initiative, to the southern portion of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge where funds will run a live-feed television in Sitka showing a seabird nesting colony on St. Lazaria Island.
