For over 30 years, the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences has operated the RV
Little Dipper out of Seward to facilitate nearby coastal research. CFOS is now replacing Little Dipper with a newly commissioned coastal research vessel. We are soliciting input to name
the new vessel.
Please consider the following guidelines when submitting names for the new coastal
research vessel:
1) The vessel name should relate to Alaska’s coastal ecosystems, the college’s mission,
and/or the operational area in the Gulf of Alaska.
2) Names should be no more than 18 letters and spaces.
3) Inflammatory, negative or obscene names will be removed from consideration.
All nominations should be submitted to dean@cfos.uaf.edu by Friday, Feb. 22.
