Southeast Alaska is rich in coastal resources. People harvest and utilize food from the tideland to the timberline. The University of Alaska Southeast Ketchikan campus Drumbeats program offers information on these resources through public events and coursework each semester, combining biology and anthropology. We have collected a great deal of resources that we hope you find useful.
