Help us grow the
AL-G project

January 28, 2025, by Lina Kapp






In a place like Sitka, we are all keen observers of the world around us. People living on these lands and waters have relied on their understanding of this unique ecosystem to support their wellbeing and livelihood since time immemorial. Our rich connections to the ocean, rivers, mountains, and forest only grow more important in our changing world.  

For nearly one hundred years, the grounds and buildings that now make up the facilities of the Sitka Sound Science Center have served our community as a hub of scientific learning and discovery. Students, researchers, locals, and visitors from around the world consider questions about the future of our ecosystem, fisheries, climate, and more. Inquiries about our local environment take on global significance as we move into the next century.  

You can support this curiosity and care for our world with a contribution to the Aquarium, Laboratories, and Grounds (AL-G) Project. This project will honor the history of our grounds and the Sage Building while providing much-needed updates to infrastructure and facilities that date back to 1929. Scientists, students, community members, and visitors will have the opportunity to engage with place-based knowledge, cutting-edge science, and the questions whose answers concern all of us in this interconnected and ever-shifting world.
