Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Summary of Activities
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Summary of Activities Prepared for Eastern Interior and North Slope Regional Advisory Councils. October 2020 Arctic National Wildlife Refuge 907-456-0250, 800-362-4546 [email protected], http://arctic.fws.gov Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic Beginning in early March 2020, Arctic Refuge staff began working from home to protect both themselves as well as Arctic Refuge communities from the spread of the COVID-19 disease. Many planned projects, events and activities had to be postponed, cancelled, or held virtually. By the summer months, the US Fish and Wildlife Service in Alaska had established safety guidelines allowing some limited field work to proceed while adhering to strict protocol for COVID-19 safety. The refuge continues to plan and conduct important surveys and field work within established safety guidelines. Refuge Staffing Changes: In May of 2020, Maria Berkeland was hired at Arctic NWR as the Permits specialist. Her primary role is the administration of special use permits for all permit types including scientific research and commercial activities such as air taxi, hunting guide, recreational guide and commercial film. Tim Knudson was hired full-time in August 2020 as the Oil and Gas logistics coordinator. Tim’s duties include coordination of logistical needs associated with the Arctic Coastal Plain research and monitoring needs. Sara Wolman transferred to Arctic NWR from Alaska Peninsula/Becharof NWR in King Salmon as an Outreach/Visual Information Specialist. Sara assists with digital media support as well as other visitor services and outreach functions for the Refuge. She developed the Refuge’s 60th Anniversary logo highlighted later in this report.

The Refuge spans more than 200 miles west to east from the Trans-Alaska pipeline corridor to Canada, and 200 miles north to south from the Beaufort Sea to the Venetie Indian Tribal Lands and the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). Geography Major land forms include the coastal plain, the Brooks Range mountains, and the boreal forest south of the mountains. The Refuge extends south from the Beaufort Sea coast, including most offshore islands, reefs, and sandbars. It extends across the mostly treeless, rolling tundra of the coastal plain to the Brooks Range, located 8-50 miles inland from the coast. The Brooks Range runs roughly east to west through the Refuge, creating a natural north-south division. The Refuge contains the four tallest peaks (led by Mt. Isto, 9049 feet) and the only extensive glaciation in the Brooks Range.

Eastern North Slope Dolly Varden Genetic Stock Identification and Stock Assessment
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Federal Office of Subsistence Management Federal Subsistence Fisheries Monitoring Program Report Eastern North Slope Dolly Varden Genetic Stock Identification and Stock Assessment. Annual Report for Study 01-113 Tim Viavant Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Sport Fish 1300 College Road Fairbanks, Alaska 99701-1599 May 2002 Annual Report Summary Page Title: Eastern North Slope Dolly Varden Genetic Stock Identification and Stock Assessment. Study Number: FIS01-113. Investigator(s)/Affiliation(s): Tim Viavant/Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Sport Fish. Management Regions: Region 10 (North Slope). Information Type: Stock Status and Trends. Issue(s) Addressed: Lack of stock status and structure information to support federal subsistence fishery management of char. Study Cost: $198,900. Study Duration: June 2001 to May 2002. Abstract: Dolly Varden are an important subsistence fishery resource for North Slope residents. This anadromous char species has a complex life history in which mixed stock aggregates winter in freshwater, making stock assessment difficult. Objectives of this study are to examine the variability and efficiency of aerial surveys of discrete wintering aggregations; verify known and identify undocumented spawning and wintering sites in several rivers; and collect fin clips from spawning aggregations to characterize population structure. Replicate aerial counts of wintering Dolly Varden within a 28 km section of Ivishak River were conducted during September 20001. The mean summed count for two observers over all subsections was 10,932 Dolly Varden (standard error, 314). This represented about 22% of a Baily mark-recapture estimate that indicated 49,523 Dolly Varden (standard error, 7,277) were present.
