Kodiak's community and biologists are looking at solutions to keep the population of crayfish down.

As Alaska’s climate changes, invasive species are becoming more common, and in many cases more concerning. Across the state, communities are grappling with the way these new species affect local populations, food systems, and even the economy. In Kodiak, a local lake is now home to an invasive signal crayfish that threatens the local salmon.
