    The Kougarok-Region

    THE KOUGAROK-REGION. By ALFRED EL BROOKS. INTRODUCTION. "Kougarok district" is the name" generally given to an auriferous gravel region lying in the central part of Seward Peninsula and drained, for the most part, by Kougarok River. This paper will describe, besides the drainage basin of the Kougarok, the other gold- bearing streams tributary to Kuzitrin River. Investigations were begun in this field in 1900 by the writer,6 assisted by A. J. Collier, soon after the first actual discovery of workable placers, and were extended by Mr. Collier 0 in the following year. In 1903 the district was reexamined by Messrs. Collier and Hess, who prepared a state­ ment for a report not yet in print.d The writer was again in this field in 1906, spending about ten days in visiting some of the more important localities. The notes of Messrs. Collier and Hess have been freely drawn upon, but for the conclusions here advanced the writer is alone responsible. All of the surveys thus far made have been preliminary, and the data obtained leave much to be desired, both as to the details of the geology and the distribution of the placer gold. TOPOGRAPHY. The northwestern front of the Bendeleben Mountains slopes off to a lowland basin, 20 miles long and 10 miles wide. On the southwest the basin walls gradually approach each other and finally constrict the valley to a width of about 3 miles, but 10 miles below it opens out again to fche low ground encircling the east end of Imuruk Basin, or Salt Lake, as it is popularly called.

Dedicated professional staff located in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Kenai Fish and Wildlife Offices and the Anchorage Conservation Genetics Laboratory serve as the core of the Program’s fisheries management study efforts. Administrative and technical support is provided by staff in the Anchorage Regional Office. Our program works closely with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and other partners to conserve and restore Alaska’s fish populations and aquatic habitats. Our fisheries studies occur throughout the 16 National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska as well as off- Refuges to address issues of interjurisdictional fisheries and aquatic habitat conservation. Additional information about the Fisheries Program and work conducted by our field offices can be obtained at: http://alaska.fws.gov/fisheries/index.htm The Alaska Region Fisheries Program reports its study findings through the Alaska Fisheries Data Series (AFDS) or in recognized peer-reviewed journals. The AFDS was established to provide timely dissemination of data to fishery managers and other technically oriented professionals, for inclusion in agency databases, and to archive detailed study designs and results for the benefit of future investigations. Publication in the AFDS does not preclude further reporting of study results through recognized peer-reviewed journals.

Rattenbury, B.A. Fairbanks, Alaska December 2006 iii ABSTRACT Intrinsic to the discussion about climate change is the effect of daily weather and other environmental conditions on natural resource-based livelihoods. Reindeer herders on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska have relied on specific conditions to conduct intensive herding in response to winter range expansion by the Western Arctic Caribou Herd (WAH). From 1992 to 2005, over 17,000 reindeer (affecting 13 of 15 herds) were lost due to mixing and emigration with the WAH. An interdisciplinary case study with one herder provided insights about the role of weather within the social-ecological system of herding. Inclement conditions disrupted herding plans at the same time that a smaller herd, diminished antler markets, and rising fuel costs have been disincentives to continue herding. Travel-limiting conditions, such as reduced visibility, delayed freeze-up, and early break-up, were implicated in herd loss to caribou or predators by several herders. However, these conditions have rarely been measured by climate change research, or they involve combinations of environmental factors that are difficult to quantify.

The work conducted during this reporting period constitutes effort on nine separate studies which are crucial in evaluating the sport fishing resources of the State. Recreational demands have necessitated broadening our knowledge of the fishery. All 20 jobs were of continuing nature enabling the Department to keep abreast of present and future impacts on certain fish species. Specifically, the work included work on inventory and cataloging of the sport fish and sport fish waters of the State, sport fish­ ery creel census and access. Special emphasis was given to Dolly Varden, silver salmon, anadromous fish, grayling, salmon, shee­ fish, pike, and char. The information gathered has provided sup­ porting documentation for better fish management and a basis for necessary future investigations. The subject matter contained in these reports may be incon­ clusive. The findings and interpretation are subject to re­ evaluation as the work progresses.
