Cordova Open House

We had a great turnout for at the Cordova Open House late Friday afternoon! Held at the PWS Science Center's warehouse, the public was invited to see the oceanographic equipment that will be deployed this week, and also meet some of the scientists and technicians participating in the experiment. About 40-45 people stopped by during the two-hour event and many seemed very impressed with the glider, AUV and drifters. Pete Puffin watched from a perch on a crate as the Open House visitors looked at the gear and asked questions about how it works and what the data results will tell us. Among the crowd were fishermen, resource managers, some long-time residents, and several visitors from Anchorage who were in Cordova for a Native Village of Eyak sponsored conference on alternative energy options the community might explore.
