Planning for the Future of Erosion Risk Management in Remote Alaska
This paper is examining the issue of erosion in remote Alaska. In 2004, the General Accounting Office published Report Number GAO-04-142 Alaska Native Villages; Most Are Affected by Flooding and Erosion, but Few Qualify for Federal Assistance. This report stated flooding and erosion affects 184 out of 213 Alaska Native villages to some extent. This paper will show how the Corps of Engineers is holistically responding to this challenging issue then focusing upon specific information for the community of Shishmaref, located on a small barrier island just below the Arctic Circle. The main source of information in this paper came from the Alaska Village/Erosion Technical Assistance Program (AVETA) report, published in 2006.
