OPR Announces Return to Kayak Island
With funding support from NOAA, OPR will return to Kayak Island in 2025. Our top priority is to clean up and collect monitoring data on 6.8 miles of coastline addressed in 2024, then continue cleanup efforts to cover as much additional coastline as possible during the 27-day project.
OPR is now hiring for this year's effort, spanning June 23 to July 19. Crews will serve two-week hitches and be based at a decommissioned lighthouse facility at Cape St. Elias, with one of Alaska's most stunning landscapes as a backdrop.
