Snettisham Sockeye Salmon Facility in Juneau Alaska is still in need of help.  It’s paid with room and board (I believe), you just have to get yourself to Juneau.

This is a great opportunity to learn about fisheries in Alaska.

All applicants must possess a valid driver’s license.

Duties: Onsite duties include but are not limited to general hatchery operations such as feeding and cleaning fry and smolt raceways, handling of adult fish for broodstock, harvest and eggtake, routine incubation details, and miscellaneous hatchery maintenance tasks. Remote camp duties include but are not limited to camp mobilization and setup, weir operation and maintenance, fish enumeration, sampling and data recording.

Salary and Compensation:   Salary range for positions start at $10.50 per hour plus room and board.

Living Conditions:  Snettisham Hatchery is accessible by small float plane or boat only. Housing consists of dormitory style living quarters including fully outfitted kitchen with food and groceries provided, as well as laundry facilities at no cost to the employee. All employees are required to cook for themselves or as a group in a dorm style setting. Telephone as well as satellite internet and television access is provided.
