Abstract: The proposal is submitted under the category of Community Involvement. The project, begun in March of FY02, will continue to build bridges between the scientific community and resource managers, enhancement programs, subsistence, and other stakeholder user groups. The scientific community is describing and attempting to predict variation in biological production, whereas the commercial fishing community desires application for this new information. We will develop a mini-symposium of the annual GEM workshop for presentation in small communities. We will also continue the successful series of workshops created in Cordova for identification of PWS fishery community issues and needs and will seek resolution of the identified issues and needs by application of EVOSTC supported research. The results contained in the Sound Ecosystem Assessment (SEA) program are especially valuable to this process. This project provides clear and positive opportunities for the resource dependent community to become involved in GEM and can also help identify how products of GEM can be made meaningful to the community.
