Bering Sea Sub-Network: Project Summary Report 2015 (Aleut International Association).
The BSSN II project provided a means for remote indigenous villages around the Bering Sea to communicate their observations about the environment and subsistence harvest. BSSN II brought together researchers and local residents in co-production of knowledge, which is place-based and relevant to soci...
