Baseline Water Quality Inventory for the Southwest Alaska Inventory and Monitoring Network, Kenai Fjords National Park
Baseline Water Quality Inventory for the Southwest Alaska Inventory and Monitoring Network, Kenai Fjords National Park Laurel A. Bennett National Park Service Southwest Alaska Inventory and Monitoring Network 240 W. 5th Avenue Anchorage, AK 99501 April 2005 Report Number: NPS/AKRSWAN/NRTR-2005/02 Funding Source: Southwest Alaska Network Inventory and Monitoring Program, National Park Service File Name: BennettL_2005_KEFJ_WQInventory_Final.doc Recommended Citation: Bennett, L. 2005. Baseline Water Quality Inventory for the Southwest Alaska Inventory and Monitoring Network, Kenai Fjords National Park. USDI National Park Service, Anchorage, AK Topic: Inventory Subtopic: Water Theme Keywords: Reports, inventory, freshwater, water quality, core parameters Placename Keywords: Alaska, Kenai Fjords National Park, Southwest Alaska Network, Aialik Bay, McCarty Fjord, Harrison Bay, Two Arm Bay, Northwestern Fjord, Nuka River, Delight Lake Kenai Fjords Water Quality Inventory - SWAN Abstract A reconnaissance level water quality inventory was conducted at Kenai Fjords National Park during May through July of 2004. This project was initiated as part of the National Park Service Vital Signs Inventory and Monitoring Program in an effort to collect water quality data in an area where little work had previously been done. The objectives were to collect baseline information on the physical and chemical characteristics of the water resources, and, where possible, relate basic water quality parameters to fish occurrence. Water temperatures in Kenai Fjords waters generally met the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) regulatory standards for both drinking water and growth and propagation of fish, shellfish, other aquatic life and wildlife. Water temperature standard are less than or equal to 13° C for spawning and egg and fry incubation, or less than or equal to 15° C for rearing and migration (DEC 2003).

Jenifer Kohout broke a record from 1993 with the fastest time in the women’s 40-49 age group, 2 hours, 10 minutes and 30 seconds. Mary Barrett was the fastest in the women’s 50-54 age group, with a time of 2:16:40. Her time was 8 minutes faster than the previous record. Bradley Cruz got the second fastest time in the men’s 50-54 age group, with a time of 1:57:04 and has the honor of holding three of the four fastest times in this age group. More age groups and pictures at the mile markers of people in Alaska with cystic fibro - sis were some of the additions to this year’s event. The most notable change was that founder of the 16-mile race, Seward resident Marsha Vincent, has stepped aside and let an Anchorage family take over the responsibility The Simpson family, like Vincent, has been impacted by the disease. Vincent has two grown sons who are living with the disease. Pat and Christalyn Simpson lost their son, Zachary, in November 2006.

Dutch is one of the four ringed seals part of an ongoing Ice Seal Research Program at the Center in partnership with the Long Marine Laboratory of University of California, Santa Cruz. Ringed seals are a species of ice seal that inhabit the Arctic. Concern about depleting sea ice has ignited our research on this little known species. Our team is trying to answer the question, “how much energy does it take to be an ice seal?” In February, the Alaska SeaLife Center hosted its annual Alaska Marine Gala, which included various fundraising elements such as a giving challenge, a live auction, a silent auction, and raffles and games throughout the evening. Proceeds helped to ensure the ASLC continues to carry out mission related initiatives in research, education, and response capacities. Throughout the year, the Alaska SeaLife Center participated in the conservation efforts such as National Skip the Straw Day, Plastic Free EcoChallenge, and World Oceans Day, encouraging our staff and the public to pledge to take steps to become educated on the dangers of single-use plastics in our oceans.
