 | | The project was part of a cooperative effort with the native village of Kotzebue, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), and the AFSC’s Polar Ecosystems Program, and was funded, in part, by a tribal wildlife grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. |
 | | This project was designed as a cooperative effort between biologists and local Kotzebue-area hunters, and it is intended to combine local knowledge about the distribution and habits of bearded seals with the field techniques and analysis expertise of biologists. |
 | | The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Alaska Native Harbor Seal Commission (ANHSC), through their joint Harbor Seal Comanagement Committee, requested an independent scientific peer review of recent NMFS research on the genetic structure of harbor seal populations in Alaska. |
