Alaska and the Lower-48: Forging Common Cause Around Climate Impacts and Solutions

The 2022 closure of several Alaskan crab seasons is the latest climate-induced disruption to rock the U.S.'s #1 seafood-producing state. Meanwhile in the Lower-48, fishermen are grappling with the potentially serious impacts of one of the leading solutions proposed to combat climate change: offshore wind energy development. Both of these trends are not only urgent in their own right, but are symbolic of the kind of tensions and tradeoffs that are likely to become more commonplace as the climate crisis becomes more palpable and the energy transition gets underway. This webinar will foster an inter-regional dialogue among fishermen in Alaska and the Lower-48 around climate change and climate solutions. We will learn how fishermen and their organizations are mobilizing around these urgent issues and discuss how we can best support each other across regions through complementary messaging frameworks and network building.
