Keepers Of The North
Keepers of the North showcases the resilience of Alaskans tackling one of the world’s toughest conservation challenges, ocean pollution washing up on remote, wild coastlines. With no road access and limited recycling options, Gulf of Alaska Keeper (GoAK) and their partners rely on boats, helicopters, and sheer determination to remove thousands of pounds of debris that threaten wildlife and ecosystems. By turning this waste into durable building materials through innovative partnerships, they prove that solutions can be both practical and visionary. Sharing this story is powerful because it shows that even in the harshest environments, community, science, and creativity can transform a problem into opportunity. Keepers of the North reminds us that conservation is not only about cleanups, but about reimagining what’s possible, and that bold ideas born on rugged shores can ripple out to inspire change across the globe.
