The meeting will take place on Wednesday, September 10th, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Kodiak Fisheries Research Center, located at 301 Research Court.
This is an opportunity to hear updates via public presentation and participate in a question-and-answer session. The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers values community involvement and encourages participation.
