Webinar: Invasive Species Spotlight Series - the European Green Crab
Tammy Davis, invasive species coordinator with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, will lead a free Zoom presentation on the European Green crab, threats they pose to Alaska nearshore environments, how Alaska partners are addressing the invasion and where green crab have been detected to date.

In 2022, the invasive European green crab was first detected in Tamgas Harbor, Annette Islands Reserve. Invasive green crab are aggressive, tolerate a wide spectrum of environmental conditions and have a high rate of reproduction making them successful invaders.

Circumpolar Connections: A Dialogue on Arctic Food Systems
The UAF Institute of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Extension will host a series of hourlong lunch seminars. Presentations will focus on engaging people in a conversation about the issues their research surrounds, and will be relatively informal and friendly. Talks will be about 30 minutes long, with plenty of time for questions and conversations. Register using the online form or visit https://bit.ly/CircumpolarConnections.
During these seminars, researchers will present ideas to inspire interdisciplinary collaboration and build relationships around Alaska's food systems.
Researchers and students at University of Alaska, other circumpolar institutions, and land-grant university Experiment Stations are invited to listen to IANRE researchers present ideas that spark curiosity and inspire new pathways forward.
While the seminars will focus on agriculture in the sub-Arctic and Arctic, the broader aim is to create a space for connection and dialogue, ultimately strengthening research across…
