Gastineau Community School Principal Stacy Diouf joins Capital Chat to talk about the school's Ocean Guardians program.

The Alaskan Ocean Guardian School Program engages K-12 students and teachers from across the state to expand awareness and lead actions to address ocean and watershed conservation needs in their school and local community. Each school makes a commitment to the protection and conservation of its local watersheds, the world’s ocean, and special ocean areas by proposing and then implementing school- or community-based conservation projects. This web-page is dedicated to sharing outcomes from the efforts taking place in Alaska schools.

For more information on how your school can become an Ocean Guardian School check out the program website managed by NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries.

A Proud Legacy of Ownership by Alaskan Women

Original Owner Annie Kaill (1975–1999) | Since Annie Kaill opened her gallery in Juneau’s historic downtown district in 1975, the gallery has been a showcase for the finest art and crafts from Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.

Since the beginning, locals loved Annie Kaill’s for its whimsical, welcoming atmosphere and the delightful gifts that can be found inside. This personal touch and love that she put into the store inspired future owners and is evident to this day.

Darby Abel (1999–2013) | Darby purchased Annie Kaill’s after working for Annie for more than 10 years. She kept the tradition of supporting Alaskan artists and craftspeople as well as those from the lower 48. Darby was born and raised in Juneau and had raised her family here as well. In 2013 she and her husband decided to retire and so, it was time to sell.

Colleen Goldrich (2013–Present) | Annie Kaill’s current owner Colleen Goldrich has lived in Juneau since the early 90’s and has family roots here dating back to the 1930’s. She established her relationship with Annie Kaill’s in (1999) when she debuted her collection of Moondance jewelry as one of the stores featured artisans.

Colleen has continued the tradition of representing Alaskan and US artists and craftspeople. Annie Kaill’s now represents more than 180 artists, craftsmen and small businesses. Colleen continues to feature established artists but also loves to find new and emerging artists and brings them in as often as possible. Annie Kaill’s is the place to go for artisan- and maker-made gifts and art.
