Thank you for helping to create a safer, healthier event for our remote community.
Join our Honorary Host, Senator Lisa Murkowski at our premier fundraiser of the year, Copper River Nouveau. It’s a celebration of regional resilience, science, education, community, and wild salmon. We honor the effort it takes from the Science Center and our partners near and far to maintain community resilience among healthy ecosystems.
This year, during the gala dinner, we will announce the winner of the Fisheries Achievement Award. This is an individual or group who has made a significant contribution toward the sustainability of fisheries resources in Prince William Sound and the Copper River watershed. We honor individuals for their innovation, perseverance, dedication, and hard work on behalf of the industry and ecosystems in our region. The awardee is a guest of honor at the gourmet Copper River Nouveau dinner.
