The Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) Principal Investigators (PIs) continue their research and monitoring to the best of their capabilities as COVID-19 persists in our communities into fall and winter. The most significant achievements this quarter include completion of fall surveys, ecosystem indicators for the annual report to the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council, and submission and approval of GWA FY21 Work Plans. The GWA program is now looking forward to the next and final quarter of monitoring
year nine.

A brief summary of our program’s third quarter activities and accomplishment can be found in the latest issue of the GWA Quarterly Currents (vol 4.3).
