Cook Inlet Keeper Charity Profile

Cook Inletkeeper is a community-based nonprofit organization that combined advocacy, education and science toward its mission to protect Alaska’s Cook Inlet watershed and the life it sustains. Inletkeeper’s monitoring and science work build credibility with scientists and resource managers, its education and advocacy efforts enhance stewardship and citizen participation, and together, these efforts translate into Inletkeeper’s ability to effectively ensure a vibrant and healthy Cook Inlet watershed.

Cook Inlet Keeper Volunteer Information

Cook Inletkeeper trains volunteers to monitor water chemistry at streams and estuary sites using scientifically-defensible protocols. Monitors must attend a three-part training to become certified, and commit to monitoring a site once per month during the winter and twice per month during the summer. Inletkeeper also trains volunteers in biological monitoring. Inletkeeper partners with several groups throughout the state that have similar programs. Cook Inletkeeper trains volunteers to monitor water table depths, vegetation, wildlife, and water chemistry at wetland sites once a month from May to October. Volunteers must attend a formal training. Volunteers are needed to assist Cook Inletkeeper’s stream ecologist in monitoring four salmon streams on the lower Kenai Peninsula. Duties include backpacking equipment to the monitoring site and recording data using a designated datasheet. Sites are often remote, so volunteers must be in good physical shape, come prepared for the weather, and bring food and water. No training is required.
