Current Research Projects

  • Alaska Monitoring and Assessment Program of Estuaries within the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska, 2015-2018 (Coastal Marine Institute). The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the University of Alaska (UA) are conducting an aquatic resource survey of estuaries with the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska (NPR-A) in 2015. This survey is being conducted under the Alaska Monitoring and Assessment Program (AKMAP) DEC and UA Addendum to a Memorandum of Agreement reauthorized in 2012. This survey is part of the 2015 National Coastal Condition Assessment (NCCA), a nationwide assessment of coastal condition. NOAA is also partnering with us under its National Status and Trends Program. University of Alaska Coastal Marine Institute support provides a more robust program to maintain a minimum of 20 stations in each strata (Chukchi and Beaufort), including other critical parameters, such as demersal fish abundance. Multiple indicators of ecological condition are used at each station to relate biological response, contaminant exposure and habitat condition. Uniform sampling methods and analytical procedures are followed to allow for nationwide comparisons of condition. AKMAP NPR-A will use four NCAA indices of condition—water quality (pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, nutrients, total suspended solids, light transmittance, chlorophyll a), sediment quality (hydrocarbons, trace metals, total organic carbon), benthic community condition, and fish tissue contaminants. Fish abundance will also be obtained from the 1-meter beam trawl effort. A Generalized Random Tessellation Stratified (GRTS) probability-based design with equal probability of selection within each stratum was used in the initial station selection. Final station design may be modified based on contracted boat draft and bathymetric information. The survey design allows for inferences to be made of the areal extent in acres of the ecological condition of estuaries within NPR-A. The overall goal for the survey is to assess the condition of estuarine aquatic resources in regards to selected water quality criteria and provide a baseline for future trend assessment.
