Abstract
This summer, I spent ten weeks working as a fisheries technician for the Ahtna Intertribal Resource Commission. My primary position duties involved taking genetic and health samples for sockeye and chinook salmon. Throughout this summer I developed knowledge in the anatomy, ecology, management, and sampling techniques associated with salmon along with gaining insight and experience in other fields while collaborating with organizations outside my own. Furthermore, I gained valuable insight into the multiple organizations and attitudes involved in the management of natural resources throughout Alaska. Coming out of this experience, I feel prepared to progress further into research and conservation work professionally and academically at Western Washington University.
