The development and effective implementation of a comprehensive plan is an essential role of the Petersburg Borough. What does the Plan recommend? The ingredients for a world class, successful fishery Based on research, analysis and many community conversations, the plan sets and industry: fisherman/harvesters, processors, out goals, strategies and implementation actions on a range of topics; these other fisheries support services and businesses, and include borough management, land use and the environment, economic community. development, transportation, recreation and tourism and waterfront development. The body of the Plan presents specifics; big themes are summarized below: • Focus on sustaining and building local jobs and business opportunities. No single strategy or action will reach this goal.

  • Kupreanof / Mitkof Province
    Kupreanof / Mitkof Province and northeastern Kupreanof. In the southwestern corner fringing Rocky Pass, extensive volcanic rocks underlie a rolling, boggy plateau. Other portions of the province have greater relief, but only in the northwest corner are there highly productive parent materials that once supported extensive large-tree forest. Mitkof Island has the northernmost redcedars on the archipelago. (A few occur to the north at Farragut Bay on the mainland.) Yellow-cedars are abundant throughout the province, yet a large proportion of cedar stands are currently experiencing a systematic die-off that is wide-spread throughout Southeast Alaska and northern British Columbia (Hennon et al. 1990, Hennon et al. 2005). Compared to island provinces such as East Chichagof and North Prince of Wales, where deeply dissecting fiords and more rugged relief create obstacles to wildlife connectivity, Kupreanof-Mitkof Province has a low degree of natural fragmentation. This province has a high number of mammal species; collectively, Kupreanof and Mitkof host 21 known mammal species, the second largest number (after Wrangell/Etolin) for any island province (MacDonald FIG 1. Kupreanof-Mitkof Province. and Cook 1999). This species richness certainly reflects proximity to the Stikine River which is a major The biogeographic province of Kupreanof and Mitkof corridor connecting wildlife from the interior with the Islands is located in central Southeast north of the coastal forests.

Hassler National Biological Service California Cooperative Fishery Research Unit Humboldt State University Arcata, California 95521 FINAL REPORT 29-95 ARLIS Alaska Resources Library & Information Services Anr.honu1f' Al~~k::l 1Present address: 3390 William Street, Eureka, California 95503 2 ABSTRACT Herpetological investigations were conducted at 285 transects from 28 March through 31 September 1992 in southeast Alaska. Key museum collections were examined and a complete review of the state of Alaskan herpetological literature was undertaken. The 1992 vouchers were inventoried and analyzed from 1993 through 1995. Several thousand individual specimen observations of six amphibian species were tabulated. The six herpetological species encountered in 1992 were: rough-skinned newt (Tariaha granulosa), western toad (Bufo boreas), long-toed salamander (Ambystoma maarodaatylum), spotted frog (Rana pretiosa), wood frog (R. sylvatiaa), and Pacific chorus frog (Pseudacris regilla). In many cases combinations of these species were found to breed sympatrically (i.e., at the same location and concurrently over the period of observations). Special attempts to trap and/or observe various additional herpetological taxa were made but with negative results. The herpetological species which were specifically searched for but which were not encountered were: the Alaskan slender salamander (Batraahoseps caudatus), northwestern salamander (Ambystoma gracile), Pacific giant salamanders (genus Diaamptodon), tailed frog (Asaaphus truei), Siberian salamanders (genus Hynobius), garter snakes (Thamnophis spp.), and sea turtles (Families: Cheloniidae and Dermochelyidae). The presence of garter snakes in the state of Alaska could not be verified during this study though considerable effort was put forth to this end.
