Red and blue king crab from waters around the Kodiak and the Pribilof islands, seals and king salmon in Bristol Bay, and sea otters in Southeast are the subjects of more than $1 million in research being funded by Alaska Sea Grant during the next two years.

Every two years, Alaska Sea Grant conducts a scientific peer-review process to select research projects to address important marine research needs in coastal Alaska. During 2012-2014, Alaska Sea Grant will provide $1,179,119 in federal and state funds to support four new projects and related graduate student traineeships aimed at advancing marine science understanding.
