Hello Katie - Augustine Island is owned by the State of Alaska, but I am not sure who you'd need to talk to about permits (if they're even needed). Perhaps NOAA, or Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Mining Land and Water. Their website is attached here: http://dnr.alaska.gov/mlw/ Thank you (and best wishes!) -Cheryl -------- Katie Gavenus wrote: Hi, Do you know who owns Augustine Island? We are trying to make preliminary plans for a marine debris clean up on the beach(es) and want to make sure we contact the appropriate people and get proper permits, if applicable. Thanks, Katie -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050
