Cook Inlet Water Quality Summit

October 24 & 25, 2023, 9am-5pm at the Marriott Anchorage Downtown in Anchorage, Alaska

Cook Inlet is the most populated watershed in Alaska, home to a diverse array of people, cultures, wildlife, and economic interests. In October, we co-hosted a FREE two-day informational summit, where we shared knowledge on Cook Inlet water quality, biodiversity, research, regulations, policy and more. At this Summit, we sought to:

  • Improve understanding of the status of Cook Inlet waters and ecosystems

  • Improve understanding of the regulatory framework regarding water quality issues, and engagement with decision-makers

  • Identify data gaps and opportunities for collaboration

  • Share data concerning Cook Inlet water quality, for the benefit of people and wildlife
