Abstract: The Yukon-Kuskokwim
(YK) Delta Berry Outlook is a data and
observer driven ecological monitoring
and modeling framework that forecasts
changes in berry habitat and abundance
with environmental change. To create a
berry monitoring protocol and modeling
framework we will solicit local
knowledge of berry distribution and
abundance from members of YK delta
communities using a survey instrument.
This survey is comprised of two parts,
Part A and Part B. Part A consists of
propositions that respondents are asked
to agree or disagree with using a Likert
scale. Propositions are on the subject of
timing, abundance, and distribution of
four types of berries prevalent in the
region. Part B consists of questions
concerning the abundance of that year’s
berry harvest.
Personally Identifiable Information
(PII) will be limited to four elements:
Names, phone numbers, emails, and the
name of the village they reside in. This
PII will be collected so that researchers
may communicate project results and
solicit feedback on the project itself for
evaluation purposes. Statistical analysis

will be performed on the survey
responses in to ascertain if a consensus
exists among participants within
villages and among villages.
The USGS mission is to serve the
Nation by providing reliable scientific
information to describe and understand
the Earth. This project will collect
information from individuals to better
understand the abundance, distribution,
and variability of berry resources in the
Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of
Alaska. The people of the YK delta hold
information about the long-term
distribution and abundance of berries
that is useful for understanding current
and future changes to berry habitat that
has the potential to impact wildlife
populations of the Yukon Delta region
and the Yukon Delta National Wildlife
Refuge.
