CCFHR Kasitsna Bay Laboratory
In partnership with the University of Alaska, public schools, tribal organizations, and marine conservation groups, the Kasitsna Bay Lab hosts scientific diver training and marine ecology and oceanography classes; marine science training for tribal environmental staff; field science camps for primary and secondary school students; and NOAA undergraduate and graduate student interns.
As one of NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), the Center for Coastal Fisheries and Habitat Research (CCFHR) conducts research on the effects of coastal habitat change and restoration on living marine resources such as seagrasses, marshes, reefs, and fish. CCFHR has laboratories in Beaufort, North Carolina and at Kasitsna Bay near Seldovia, Alaska. The Center focuses research on injured habitats and communities, and on estimating natural and human induced mortality, growth, and reproduction. These missions support NOAAâs broader mission of sustaining healthy coasts.
