The Experiences of a Fisheries Biologist's First Summer in Alaska

von Kim Francisco

208 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This collection of tales is Kim Francisco's memories of his first summer working for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Commercial Fisheries Division in the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim Region. His experiences ranged from the mundane to life-threatening, comical to tragic. He found it so satisfying it led to a lifelong career in natural resource management. These events primarily occurred in 1973; however, the timeline occasionally jumps to tell the whole story. Fish are notoriously challenging to persuade; fisheries management mainly deals with people. In Alaska's diverse cultural environment, interacting with people was always interesting. Life-long friendships are formed, and every twenty-one-year-old has romance in their life.
