Marine Mammals Program

Marine Mammal Program Coordinator..............................................Helen Chythlook

The Marine Mammals Program promotes scientific research for sustainable marine mammal populations and harvest activities. The Marine Mammals Program provides technical assistance to Tribal Councils regarding marine mammal issues and advocates a pro-active approach to address marine mammal issues while emphasizing tribal involvement at all stages of research development and implementation. The program coordinates the activities of the Qayassiq Walrus Commission and Bristol Bay Marine Mammal Council and is cooperatively involved with the Eskimo Walrus Commission, Alaska Native Harbor Seal Commission, Alaska Beluga Whale Committee, The Alaska Sea Otter and Stellar Sea Lion Commission, and the Indigenous Peoples Council on Marine Mammals.
