Curious about marine science topics? Browse and listen to our archive of short radio programs.
Frederick Soundings is an educational radio series aired monthly on KFSK Community Radio in Petersburg, Alaska. Each program is a three-minute burst of knowledge about marine mammals, ocean science, or animal behavior and is rich with the underwater and coastal sounds of Alaska.
WORKSHOPS & MEETINGS
We conduct workshops and meetings to facilitate communication between government agency managers and the fishing and boating community. From special presentations by the National Weather Service to roundtable discussions with NOAA Fisheries about the latest humpback whale species and habitat designations, we are a neutral organization working to bring stakeholders together.
INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE
PMMC has created and placed interpretive signage throughout the Petersburg community. Check out locations around Outlook Park, the South Harbor parking area, and Hammer Slough along Sing Lee Alley to find natural history information about humpback whales, seabirds, estuary species and salmon.
OUTREACH PUBLICATIONS
We produce and distribute publications, stickers and other published content to inform boaters, community members and visitors about marine mammals and stranding response.
