T--T--Exhibit "Reaching Home; Pacific Salmon, Pacific People"

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plans to award a sole source contract for a professional exhibit package titled "Reaching Home: Pacific Salmon, Pacific People," intended for display at the Refuge Office in King Salmon, Alaska. This package includes 43 professionally framed color photographs, 10 canvas reader banners, and numerous caption cards, all copyrighted in 1994. The exhibit focuses on four main themes: the salmon life cycle, human interactions such as commercial fishing and subsistence living, habitat issues, and efforts to restore salmon populations. Many of the photos were taken in the Bristol Bay area and on the Alaska Peninsula, emphasizing the cultural and ecological significance of Pacific salmon in the region. The contract will be awarded to Natalie Fobes Photography, based in Seattle, Washington. The images and related materials in the exhibit provide a compelling visual narrative of the relationship between Pacific salmon and the people who depend on them. The award is managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service headquarters under the Department of the Interior and is part of an effort to enhance educational and interpretive resources at the King Salmon refuge.
