About

Listen to an Alaskan biologist as she gives a Powerpoint presentation about her adventures investigating sockeye, chum, and Chinook salmon, counting moose, researching caribou, and indexing red king crab across varied landscapes and waters in Alaska. Information was collected under sometimes harrowing conditions to ensure that conservation measures sustained fish and game for the community's well-being. For many assignments, she was the first woman to undertake the job.
