Ray RaLonde, Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program, is helping the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation plan public outreach activities to inform Alaskans about the dangers of paralytic shellfish poisoning during this spring and summer recreational shellfish harvest. RaLonde is also helping to develop PSP sampling protocol and handling standards that communities will use if they take part in a proposed community-based PSP monitoring program.
