Chapter 3: Anadromous Waterbodies Anadromous Waterbodies This section identifies major waterbodies within the plan boundary (see Table 3.1) and provides guidance for all waterbodies if they are anadromous. The management intent of the anadromous waterbodies is provided below. Designation/co-designation: All anadromous waterbodies within this plan are designated or co-designated Habitat. Management Intent. All anadromous waterbodies shall be managed to protect their habitat value while allowing other uses. The waterbodies may be identified as providing habitat for anadromous fish at lower reaches, but not at upper reaches. The areas containing anadromous fish are subject to change due to both new sampling efforts and shift in habitat use by fish. The Anadromous Waters Catalog is updated annually and should be consulted by adjudicators to determine the most up to date information.

John River Field Inspection Log (July 8 Through 19, 1974)
Important Information About the Alaska River Logs These narratives about trips on Alaska rivers are valuable even decades after they were written. However, we recommend that you to keep the following in mind as you read. First, a word of warning: use these river logs as one source of information that you will supplement with more. Alaska rivers can be very dangerous because of their remoteness, the climate, their sources, and other factors. Bring adequate and proper clothing, equipment, and food. File a "float plan" with someone who can call for help if you do not return on time. Take a satellite phone or other communications tool if at all possible (but not usually a cell phone because of their limited coverage in Alaska). You should plan carefully for a safe and pleasant trip. Second, note also that land status information contained in these documents may no longer be accurate. These logs were compiled long before massive land transferals of unreserved public land to restrictive public ownership or private ownership. River users should be careful to follow federal or state regulations where appropriate, and to avoid trespassing on private land. Here is some additional information Alaska native landowners. You can obtain information about access on public lands from the Alaska Public Lands Information Center. Third, be sure to also check current fishing or hunting regulations, as what was legal decades ago may not be legal today. You can obtain information about state fishing and hunting regulations from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game website. More restrictive federal regulations may apply on certain federal lands.

Yukon and Kuskokwim Whitefish Strategic Plan
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Whitefish Biology, Distribution, and Fisheries in the Yukon and Kuskokwim River Drainages in Alaska: a Synthesis of Available Information Alaska Fisheries Data Series Number 2012-4 Fairbanks Fish and Wildlife Field Office Fairbanks, Alaska May 2012 The Alaska Region Fisheries Program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conducts fisheries monitoring and population assessment studies throughout many areas of Alaska. 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.

EXPLORATION in the COSNA-NOWITNA REGION. By
EXPLORATION IN THE COSNA-NOWITNA REGION. By HENRY M. EAKDST. INTRODUCTION. The area here called the Cosna-Nowitna region extends southward from Yukon and Tanana rivers to Lake Minchumina and the North Fork of Kuskokwim River. It reaches from the longitude of Cosna on the east to Nowitna River on the west. (See index map, fig. 14.) Prior to 1915 the topography and geology of this region were practically unknown except its eastern margin, which had been' FIGURE 14. Index map showing location of Cosna-Nowitna region. traversed by Herron.1 Few prospectors had visited it, and so far as known the region had no particular economic importance. In the summer of 1915 a small Geological Survey party in charge of the writer made a rapid exploratory trip from the Tanana at Cosna to the headwaters of Nowitna River, following in a general way the 1 Hcrron, J. S., Explorations in Alaska, 1899: War Dept., Adjt. General's Office, No. 31, pp. 1-77, maps, 1901. 211 212 MINERAL RESOURCES OF ALASKA, 1915. Yukon-Kuskokwim divide. A pack train of seven horses was used on this trip, which took from June 12 to August 26. The horses were abandoned on the upper Nowitna and the party proceeded down the river on a raft, arriving at Ruby September 3. Topographic work was carried on by plane-table method, and most of the uplands between the plains of the Yukon and Kuskokwim were mapped. Geologic mapping was extended over practically the same area. The resulting maps will be published in connection with a more complete report on the region now in preparation.

Gates of the Arctic Wilderness: 30 Year Perspective
Gates of the Arctic Wilderness: 30 Year Perspective Suzanne Stutzman – Final Report - November 2014 Project Overview Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve was created in 1980, and the first general management plan began in 1984. This year, 2014, is the 50th anniversary of The Wilderness Act. Now is a good time to take a broad look through time and ask: Has wilderness character has changed significantly in the last 30 years? What does the future hold for one of the wildest places on earth? Did the first general management provide useful guidance for managers or not? I am a wilderness professional and advocate with over 35 years of experience with the National Park Service who volunteered for this special project for the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act. I was the team captain for the first general management plan for Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve from 1984 – 1986, and later in my career became entirely focused on wilderness stewardship and I was recognized as a regional and national leader in wilderness stewardship. My experience gives me a unique perspective to compare the Gates of the Arctic Wilderness from 30 years ago to the wilderness of today. I proposed this project to the Superintendent of Gates of the Arctic for the summer of 2014 and received enthusiastic support from Superintendent Dudgeon and his staff. The main components of the project were assembling my photos and notes from 1984, interviewing staff by phone and in the field, field visits to some of the areas I visited in 1984, and writing up my findings on the plan, on wilderness character, and the future.
