Just across from Wrangell, Alaska, hundreds of thousands of shorebirds stop each spring on the mudflats of the Stikine River Delta. See how this ecosystem supports wildlife & local people in this second of three videos about Alaskan coastal ecosystems I produced this past year.
“Our people were one with the land. We ebbed & flowed with the seasons.” For the people of Wrangell, AK, the Stikine ties the ecosystem together, supporting birds, fish, culture & people. Learn more in the next part of our series on Alaska's coastal wetlands w/ @AKForestService@uoregon.
Excited for the release of a film series I produced this past year highlighting the ecological, cultural and economic importance of coastal ecosystems in Alaska! Thanks to support from @PacificBirds, @UOsojc, @DucksUnlimited, & @ChugachForestAK
Each year, millions of migratory birds rest and fuel up on the Copper River Delta. We’re thrilled to share the first part of our series on Alaskan coastal wetlands, highlighting the role the Delta plays in both the Pacific Flyway & in the community & culture of Cordova, AK. @AKForestService@ChugachForestAK@DucksUnlimited.
