Structured Decision Analysis informed by Traditional Ecological Knowledge was applied to understand the mechanisms of climate change influences on subsistence species and their harvest in a coastal Arctic community in Alaska. The process was also used to build upon existing strategies and decision-making processes regarding climate change adaptation of subsistence activities. We conducted workshops to identify issues of concern, assess the benefits and trade-offs of different strategies to enhance the safety of subsistence activities, identify factors influencing key subsistence species and their accessibility, and assess the dependence of animals and their harvest on sea ice. This data package contains lists of the questions and responses produced by those workshops.
