deep sea/rock dweller?

There was a person from here that posted an ant in Tuntutuliak and I have never seen an ant around in my life in these parts...lol

yeah swimming in circles, shaking their heads.

😯

Ive seen that too when hunting for brant

i ended up shooting and grabing it and eating it

Yeah. Don't do that in the future Henry. Be careful.

So the small shore birds have been reported with it? We have a lot of the gotwits (spelling). I will have the community get aware of this.

sounds like birds may be effected by a PSP event

My son observed 10-14 dead along the southern coast line of Port Clarence Harbor, when they went egg-gathering last week.

Got it! Hi Carol :)

Thank you MIchael!

Seagulls, I'm sorry I forgot to say what kind birds.

Oh it was a comment on the effects of the avian flu

These articles/questions and especially the videos people have taken showing odd behaviors in birds that can be related to bird flu are great. Is there an easy way to share these articles directly to our social media channels so more people can see it?

Are the fact sheets you have sent online so I can forward on?

You posts to LEO Network are super helpful and requested.

Can we get a copy

Donnevan Lewis, Alutiiq Tribe of Old Harbor

You can report birds to the USFWS Sick and Dead bird hotline: 1-866-527-3358. Report weird behavior or death in fox to your regional ADFG office. You can also post these reports to LEO Network.

Native Village of Unalakleet

With any questions, comments or concerns, please contact us at contaminationsupport@anthc.org

LEO would love to hear more about Tuntutuliak ant, weird bird behavior in Wales. For White Mountain, I would avoid eating the sick ones. Jeromy point out the important additional issues to keep an eye out for psp events. Johnee if you can share the dead bird observation, that would be awesome.

Feel free to email me. mbrubaker@anthc.org

Santina, Why did they give such short notice to submit the FY23 budget application in grants.gov? For a new Gap coordinator it was a bit stressful and I’m wondering why the short notice?

America the Beautiful - funding opportunity

We will be sending an e-mail with information about the webinar

The webinar will be Tuesday, June 14 at 1:30pm

I was given 4 days to submit

Ok will do thank you

Thanks Des!

Is there a specific time to ask about burn restrictions at our rural landfills?

Is Alaska on burn ban?

Thank you!

Backhaul recyclables

Water quality samples and testing

https://dec.alaska.gov/eh/solid-waste/waste-in-rural-alaska/technical-assistance/

Learn how to recycle and recycle oil, paper/cardboard, aluminum, glass and food

A cleaner and healthier community

clean up green up/earth day activities with younger kids

HAZWOPER Training for community members

Hire personnel, attend trainings, order supplies, hire contractor for landfill assessment

Job opportunities in the community

We were able to get air purifiers for each household thanks to BBNA's Cares Act funding

collect e-waste/aluminum for shipping out

Recycle pop cans & plastic bottles, send out E-waste from school, clinic, and residents.

Healthy Home kits for members

Recycle cans and plastic bottles

Radon Testing in the community

I wonder if you can copy and paste our comments

with new development in the horizon in much of alaska, we are striving to set a water quality baseline for our watershed to protect the natural inhabitants of the watershed. GAP has allowed us to begin setting a water quality baseline for our watershed. GAP has also allowed the community for a trash haul service with approximately 90% less traffic into our landfill

Capacity building like writing new grants to better support Tribes and their env. dept's.

Dust level awareness, reduction, and data collection

Traditional knowledge and cultural resources outreach

Subsistence food benefits and information

Energy Efficiency outreach

Partnerships, Trainings, grant assistance

They have helped bring our Tribes together on POW and work with us to complete backhauls each year

organizing trainings

Prince of Wales Island

Communication directly with EPA

For our Bering Strait Region…Kawerak Regional Backhaul works well with recycle backauls and sharing other further outreach which is useful.

While working on our ETEP we got a lot of one on one technical assistance that really helped our tribe

trainings ideas information

Trainings, answer EPA/IGAP questions about budgets, program development, help us get needed resources to address local problems, like lime, or extra needed "honey-buckets", promote "Healthy Living".

Technical assistance with writing grant, reporting, and sharing activities across the state.

ANTHC has a wealth of knowledge and if they don't know, they know who to ask to help us

We can see the jamboard :)

It would help if there was some type of orientation for new hires

Brownfield grant Assistance

I wish there was a grant writer for tribes.

Assisted with new programs we need to learn to use for reporting etc.,

Consultation assistance

The biggest challenge we continue to have on LD, is lack of good internet connectivity. This is the big tool to keep us reporting properly and on time.

Waiting for project officers in Seattle to get back to us when trying to take care of all the Alaska Tribes IGAP questions/concerns

oops that was for if consortia was gone

fuel, freight prices increasing, lack of equipment.

received we rec'd help with

finding stuff to do during times where its slow

high cost of living

trying to attend virtual training with bad internet

when you say "our community" is this pertaining to GAP or the community in general?

Logistics, difficulties getting whats needed to the communities and getting recyclables out

how to write in reports or closeouts

Oh yeah, It would be great to get GO3 working without glitches as well. GAP Online was workable….I don’t understand why they never kept it up and running until GO3 is all set and ready for us to utilize.

landfill too small for the community and need to get a biggerlandfill and to monitor and take care of blowouts from the dump

thanks

backhaul of old snowmachines/atvs freezers refrigerators

Community challenges: Erosion, potentially contaminated water near landfills, etc, issues with road dust, need to get recycling out, technical assistance with grants and connections to other partners like feds, universities, and others.

no

Thanks for inviting me to join.

conference seem too short.

Being able to work on climate change related issues, solid waste, air quality, incorporating traditional knowledge, water quality, and other things like food security. Access to info about cleaning up fuds, etc...So much to list.

Thank you Desiree, good working session. Lots of input & information sharing!
