I. Abstract
The Yukon-Kuskokwim (YK) Delta
Berry Outlook is a data and observer
driven ecological monitoring and
modeling framework that forecasts
changes in berry habitat and abundance
with climate and environmental change.
In order to create a monitoring protocol
and modeling framework we will solicit
local knowledge of berry distribution
and abundance from members of
Yukon-Kuskokwim communities.
Participants from the communities will
take part in a survey that asks yes or no
questions about the timing, abundance,
and distribution of three types of berries
that are important in their communities.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
will be limited to four elements: Names,
phone numbers, emails, and the name of
the village they reside in. This PII will
be collected in order to communicate
project results and solicit feedback on
the project itself for evaluation
purposes. Statistical analysis will be
performed on survey responses in order
to ascertain if a consensus exists among
participants within villages and among
villages. The survey results will be one
source of data used to create a model
forecasting changes in Tribal food
sources.

The USGS mission is to serve the
Nation by providing reliable scientific
information to describe and understand
the Earth. This project will collect
information from individuals to better
understand the abundance, distribution,
and variability of berry resources in the
Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of
Alaska. The people of the YK delta rely
on wild berries for a substantial portion
of their diet and hold information about
the long term distribution and
abundance of berries that is useful for
understanding current and future
changes to berry habitat due to climate
change impacts that will effect both
human and wildlife populations of the
Yukon Delta region and the Yukon Delta
National Wildlife Refuge.
