5 revelations from 'Federal Fumbles' report: From trans animal experiments to Minnesota fraud schemes
4. Nearly $150K to study how COVID and climate change affect fish in Alaska
Lankford’s report highlighted how, in February 2025, the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded nearly $150,000 to the Sealaska Heritage Institute to study how COVID-19 and climate change impact herring in Alaska.
According to a description of the project in an NEH document outlining its grant awards and offers for January 2025, the goal was to create “an oral history archive with 17 semi-structured interviews and field observations to record the Indigenous knowledge of herring harvesters whose practices have been adversely affected by climate change and COVID-19 in southeast Alaska. A final report, peer-reviewed paper, presentations, and a short video would also result from this project.”
