Sitka stands as a stronghold for the Alaskan fisheries and aquaculture industries, making it an ideal location to embark on a career path in marine science. Amidst breathtaking wildlife and biodiversity, students acquire a deep understanding of various facets of Alaska aquaculture. Field trips to streams and hatcheries provide comprehensive insights into fish biology and stock enhancement techniques. Interactions with shellfish farmers expose students to potential careers in ocean farming, and within the program, students actively manage their own seaweed hatchery at the UAS-Sitka mariculture lab.
