The data set contains a coded Excel spreadsheet of local and traditional knowledge interview questions and responses, and a results narrative collected from eleven people interviewed on St. Paul Island. The topics focused on during the interviews were identified from the Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Project (BSIERP) research plan, including customary and traditional practices, fisheries, environmental quality, seasonal cycles, northern fur seals, seabirds, halibut, crab, ocean and environmental conditions, sea ice conditions, and general human impacts.
