The Local and Traditional Knowledge (LTK) component of the Bering Sea Integrated Ecological Research Project (BSIERP) is designed to provide data and perspective on the dynamics of the Bering Sea ecosystem by inviting residents of five Bering Sea Native Alaskan communities to share their life-long experience of the Bering Sea environment. Five such communities were selected to represent the range of Native Alaskan communities bordering the Bering Sea: Savoonga on St. Lawrence Island, St. Paul on the western edge of the continental shelf, Emmonak and Togiak of the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta shoreline, and Akutan in the eastern Aleutian Islands. This dataset contains a draft summary of findings for Akutan.
