Write emails, text, post to Facebook, or tweet in all 20 of Alaska’s Native languages! Chert is a third-party keyboard allowing you to type special characters found in Alaska’s Native languages. Many of these characters are not available on Apple’s default keyboards. Customize your keyboard by enabling only those special characters present in the languages you use. Chert uses the same press-and-hold method used to type special characters like é and ü on Apple’s default keyboard. This preserves full English language functionality, so you can switch languages without switching keyboards. Chert includes all special characters present in Alaska’s Native languages. Big shoutout to: - Alexei Baboulevitch (Archagon) for building an amazing open-source keyboard that can be found here: https://github.com/archagon/tasty-imitation-keyboard - icons8 (icons8.com) for providing the icons used on the tab bar for free.

The Indigenous Sentinel Network (ISN) Anadromous Waters Catalog (AWC) app is designed for community observers to record observations of anadromous fish and stream passage information in a reliable and consistent manner. The ISN AWS app is part of a collaboration between the Alaska Conservation Foundation, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG), the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Aleut Community of St. Paul Island Tribal Government. The ADFG Catalog of Waters Important for the Spawning, Rearing or Migration of Anadromous Fishes and its associated Atlas currently lists almost 20,000 streams, rivers or lakes around the state of Alaska which have been specified as being important for the spawning, rearing or migration of anadromous fish. However, it is believed that this number represents a fraction of the streams, rivers, and lakes actually used by anadromous species. Until these habitats are inventoried, they will not be protected under Alaska State law. To be protected water bodies must be documented as supporting some life function of an anadromous fish species (salmon, trout, char, whitefish, sturgeon, etc.) Anadromous fish must have been seen or collected and identified by a qualified observer. Most nominations come from Department of Fish and Game fisheries biologists. Others are received from private individuals, companies and biologists from other state and federal agencies. Data documenting anadromous fish species can be logged in the field regardless of internet access through the ISN AWC smartphone app and then can be uploaded to the ISN database when a Wi-Fi connection is available. Data will then be forwarded to the ADFG for validation and use in the AWC nomination process. If you want to request access to your data or delete your account please contact the administrators at g@beringwatch.net. The process for account deletion is manual and takes up to 3 working days to complete. You will be notified when the user account and personal data have been deleted.
