Invasive plants are particularly aggressive and threaten fish and wildlife habitat by crowding out native plants, reducing foraging opportunities for native fish and wildlife. 145487 Fish Habitat Restoration: CRWP works to identify, monitor and restore salmon habitat throughout the Copper River drainage. By convening state and federal agency and community partners, we form planning teams and partnerships to identify salmon habitat data gaps, and key salmon habitat locations in need of restoration. 38316 Community tourism planning: as part of our mission, we are working with local government and business partners to attract small scale independent travelers to the region to help build a sustainable tourism economy. The Organization develops story-telling resources for The Alaska App, a smart phone app, to enrich the visitor experience in the Copper Basin. The Organization also facilitates organizing the Salmon Jam Festival, a destination weekend event that draws visitors to Cordova from Anchorage and Fairbanks. 26487 381439 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 8 0 true 14 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false true true false true true true false true true true true true true true true false X X Lisa Docken 9074243334 PO Box 1560 Cordova AK 995741560 Kristin Carpenter Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 59307 0 0 Lisa Docken Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 10000 0 0 Robin Mayo President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Pete Mickelson Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jackie McMahan Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Matt Piche Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kendra Harder Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nicolas Merlino Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amanda Wiese Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alexis Cooper Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Erica Clark Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dorne Hawxhurst Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 69307 0 false false false 0 532882 532882 0 1782 1782 0 0 0 0 19960 8986 10974 4633 0 16683 5783 10900 10900 Misc.
