The Southwest Alaska Inventory & Monitoring Network consists of five parklands in Southwest Alaska: Alagnak National Wild River, Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve, Katmai National Park and Preserve, Kenai Fjords National Park, and Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. In those parks, we collect information on plants, animals, water, and climate. Then we analyze the data and share the results.
Understanding the resources, their condition, and how they are changing, can help park managers to make sound decisions about the future. With our science, parks can develop a stronger basis for stewardship and management of their natural resources. In this way, we help to ensure that our national natural treasures are conserved for future generations.
