Overview
The Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) promotes coordination, dissemination, and development of applied science to inform landscape level conservation, including terrestrial-marine linkages, in the face of landscape scale stressors, focusing on climate change.

We are pleased to announce that the Western Alaska LCC now has an approved Charter. The charter establishes the mission, goals and guiding principles of the LCC and describes the roles of the LCC Steering Committee, Science and Traditional Ecological Knowledge Community (Science/TEK), the Partnership Community and the LCC staff. Contact information for the 2011-2012 Steering Committee members are listed below.
Pilot Program
Announcing the 2012 Request for Proposals (Due 1 March 2012)
The Western AK LCC is launching two "pilot programs" this year. The pilot programs focus on priorities raised during the scoping and workshops held in 2010 and 2011: the primary program will focus on Coastal Processes; the second, smaller effort will focus on advancing statewide stream, river and lake water temperature and quality monitoring programs and associated information infrastructure. These programs will be designed to demonstrate how the LCC can add value to the wide array of existing applied science efforts in these two subject areas. The programs will be in the design phase December - February 2012, followed by implementation. The programs will be of short duration with funding from federal fiscal years 2012 and 2013. Please look for opportunities to become involved in these efforts. Upcoming activities will be announced via the WLCC mailing list, along with other avenues of communication.
More information on the Pilot Program is available here.
The 2012 request for project proposals is available here.
