It's Giving Tuesday, a global day of celebration and generosity! Join us today at princewilliamsound.org to read more about our programs, renew your membership, or become a member.
Thank you for helping us keep PWS healthy, clean, and wild for all to enjoy!
We got us some of this ‘bathymetry’ here in PWS. It guides the flow of tides, gives home to rockfish & halibut, and occasionally either collapses to create tsunamis or dampens the force of tsunamis. Wild stuff that.
Ready for another #WaterWord?
Today’s WaterWord is Bathymetry.
Etymology - From Bathymetric: two Greek words: bathys, meaning “deep,” and metrike, meaning “to measure.” Learn more: ow.ly/n1IR50Qb9mB

The Taku Glacier near Juneau, Alaska steadily gained mass through the 20th century, like a holdout from a prior ice age. But the glacier’s heyday appears to be over. #GlacialReadsWeekend🧊

Today we honor the life and legacy of our beloved Dr. Walter Soboleff, who lived by our traditional tribal values. Take a moment to listen to the words he shared at our 2006 Tribal Assembly.
Let us reflect today on his leadership, wisdom, service, kindness and love.
This bit of psychedelia brought to you by a beach in Prince William Sound. Have a good weekend.

The world of modern marine debris is fascinating. We’re thankful to everyone who is responding and sharing their stories.

Look what our nonprofitty selves can do: 82 pounds of 🥔 grown for the local food bank serving Whittier & lower Turnagain Arm. With @ChugachForestAK & other partners. #food #Environment #kids
In honor of #Indigenous People’s Day, behold the Tlingit potato. With @ChugachForestAK & other partners we grow hundreds of 🥔 every yr for local food pantry. Our choice of Tlingit 🥔 recognizes traditional uses along the NW Coast.
Lucky for us the war on the war on disinformation has not affected the arena of marine debris. Yet.
For now, ppl still believe single-use #plastics harm wildlife, pollute H2O, & deserve reg action.
(Condolences to those in journo, #climate, health, etc)

It might sound like a longshot but your own backyard can help protect wildlife against habitat loss 🐇🦉#HumanityforHabitat
Read this article about researchers studying how we can use our backyards for good - from barbecues to bunnies.

We are thrilled to announce the first Lingít language children’s book and animated video have been produced under a partnership with Goldbelt Heritage Foundation and Cedar Group. Read our release to learn how tribal citizens can get a copy of the book: conta.cc/46F6IBf
When we’re done cleaning up PWS, we’re creating an offshoot called the Milky Way Stewardship Foundatipn to leverage our expertise against space debris. Just watch.

🗣️Hey you over there! Have you voted? It's Fat Bear Week!
Just like the charismatic chonks of @KatmaiNPS , coastal brown bears in Glacier Bay alike enter a stage called 'hyperphagia' each fall to prep themselves for winter, gaining as much as four pounds per day #FatBearWeek

LOUD NOISES!
Did you get the @fema wireless emergency alert test?
A #Tsunami Warning is the *ONLY* message that will be transmitted across your WEA-capable phone in a tsunami event. Make sure you have other ways to recieve life-saving information near the coast.
