excerpt from the article written by Ellen Chenowith, KCAW Raven Radio, Sitka:"Marine mammal biologist Dr. Heidi Pearson is interested in learning more about how sea otter feeding habits may be changing the ecology of Sitka Sound. Pearson is a newly appointed Assistant Professor of Marine Biology at the University of Alaska Southeast Juneau. Pearson believes that by feeding on sea urchins, otters stabilize the kelp forests. Without otters to keep them in check, urchins act like spiny lumberjacks by gnawing through the stalks that connect kelp to the sea floor."

Lots of people have been asking about the whale tale castings around town. This article will explain a little bit more. UAS' involvement was the intermediate whale "Spike" currently displayed in front of the Juneau Arts & Humanities Council until the campus redesign is complete, when he will be brought out for display here.
When a sculptor does a large scale sculpture, as the final whale will be for the downtown project, they most often create an intermediate design before going large scale. As part of the larger campaign, UAS raised the funds and purchased the smaller version, which will adorn our campus soon.
