The Council’s annual Science Night event brings together staff, volunteers, industry and agency partners, and the public for an evening of science, food, and good company. Each year scientists and practitioners share updates on the latest research relevant to the Council’s region and mission. Topics range from wildlife research, invasive species, effects of crude oil on the environment of Prince William Sound, and much more. Speaker and topic suggestions are always welcome!
Join us for this relaxed and educational event in person in Anchorage or virtually. Presentations are streamed online via Zoom.
