The Division of Subsistence of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game conducted the study in collaboration with the National Park Service and Stephen R. Braund & Associates. The Pebble Project is a proposed open pit mine located 18 miles to the northwest of Iliamna and 18 miles southwest of Nondalton. The potential development of the mine requires updated baseline information about subsistence harvests and uses. Information was collected through systematic household surveys and mapping interviews. Scoping meetings were held in each community to elicit ideas about research questions and to learn more about issues. After preliminary study findings were available, a second round of community meetings took place to review the results. In total, 116 households were interviewed, 79% of the year- round resident households. The study documented the continuing importance of subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering to the study communities. In 2004, virtually every person in each community participated in subsistence activities and used wild resources. Subsistence harvests were large and diverse. Estimated wild resource harvests were 469 pounds usable weight per person in Iliamna, 692 pounds per person in Newhalen, 358 pounds per person in Nondalton, 306 pounds per person in Pedro Bay, and 133 pounds per person in Port Alsworth. Most participants in this study reported their subsistence uses and harvests have changed in their lifetimes and over the last 5 years, due to reduced resource populations, shifts in the locations of moose and caribou, competition with nonlocal sport hunters, and a warming climate. Residents voiced concerns about the potential development of a mine and the construction of a road through and near their traditional subsistence harvest areas. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents updated information about subsistence uses of fish, wildlife, and plant resources in 5 communities within the resident zone of the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, southcentral Alaska. The study communities were Iliamna, Newhalen, Nondalton, Pedro Bay, and Port Alsworth. The study area is within the Kvichak River-Iliamna Lake-Lake Clark drainage, a part of the Bristol Bay watershed. The Kvichak River system supports the world’s largest run of sockeye salmon. The residents of all 5 communities rely on subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering for nutrition and to support their way of life. The Division of Subsistence of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) conducted the study in collaboration with the National Park Service and Stephen R. Braund & Associates (SRB&A). The Pebble Project is a proposed open pit mine located 18 miles to the northwest of Iliamna near Frying Pan Lake, and 18 miles southwest of Nondalton. The mineral deposit includes gold, copper, molybdenum, and silver. The proposed project includes construction of a road from the deposit to a port facility on Cook Inlet. The potential development of the mine and road requires updated baseline information about subsistence harvests and uses in the five study communities that this study addressed.

Reference collection work done in 1983 was was greatly assisted by Elizabeth Andrews, Steve Rehnke, John Wright, and Dr. Robert Wolfe who made their own collections of regional references available and offered useful suggestions regarding organiza- tion of the bibliography and additional sources. References collected in 1983 sat for over two years awaiting further work and funding, and. for a time it appeared that they would never make it into print. We have Jim Fall to thank for spearheading efforts to resurrect the project in 1986, offering suggestions for updating the collection with new material, reviewing citations and introductory text, and providing the funds for printing. Others contributing additional reference material to the updated collection include Elizaheth Andrews. Susan Georgette, Judy Morris. and Janet Schichnes. Thanks also to Dan Foster, who expertly prepared the maps appearing in the introduction. to Kathy Arndt, who painstakingly edited an early rough draft of the hihliography. and to Margie Yadlosky, who efficiently handled data entry and editing tasks on the data file. Cover artwork was the creation of Tim Sczawinski.

  • Climate at Lake Clark NPP NPS/P
    Southwest Alaska Network National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior SWAN Inventory & Monitoring Program Southwest Alaska Network Alagnak Aniakchak Katmai Kenai Fjords Lake Clark Climate at Lake Clark NPP NPS/P. Kirchner NPS/P. The Lake Clark region, located in southcentral Alaska, has two distinct climates that are divided southwest to northeast by the Alaska and Aleutian mountain ranges. To the southeast, the Cook Inlet and the Pacific Ocean significantly influence the climate of the region by moderating the transfer of energy and water vapor to and from the atmosphere resulting in a maritime climate. To the northwest, the mountains form a barrier, resulting in climate patterns more typical of Alaska’s western interior that are sometimes influenced by the moderating effects of the Bristol Bay to the southwest. Figure 1 provides examples of how mean annual monthly temperatures vary relative to their locations: Silver Salmon Weather station in the Chigmit Mountains of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve.
