Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve
Annual Report 2012 Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve National Park Service Department of the Interior “Oh, it was wild and weird and wan, and ever in camp o’ nights We would watch and watch the silver dance of the mystic Northern Lights. And soft they danced from the Polar sky and swept in primrose haze; And swift they pranced with their silver feet, and pierced with a blinding blaze. They danced a cotillion in the sky; they were rose and silver shod; It was not good for the eyes of man—’twas a sight for the eyes of God. It made us mad and strange and sad, and the gold whereof we dreamed Was all forgot, and our only thought was of the lights that gleamed.” from The Ballad of the Northern Lights, by Robert Service Table of Contents Purpose and Significance of Yukon-CharleyRivers National Preserve................................................................4 Map of Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve.................................................................................................5 Performance and Results Section.................................................................................................................7-25 Preserve Resources............................................................................................................................7-17 Public Enjoyment and Visitor Experience.....................................................................................18-23 Ensure Organizational Effectiveness...........................................................................................24-25 -
Yukon River Restoration and Enhancment Fund 2008 Conceptual Proposal
YUKON RIVER RESTORATION AND ENHANCMENT FUND 2008 CONCEPTUAL PROPOSAL NUMBER: URE-04N-08 PROJECT TITLE: Ruby Salmon Data Collection Project PROJECT PROPONENT: Ed Sarten, Ruby Tribal Council PO box 21, Ruby, AK 99768 (907) 468-4475 [email protected] POTENTIAL PROJECT PARTNERS/ADDITIONAL PARTICIPANTS: Brandy Berkbigler, Tanana Chiefs Conference (907) 452-8251 [email protected] Lara Dehn, Alaska Department of Fish & Game (907) 459-7288 [email protected] PROJECT LOCATION: Ruby, AK PROJECT OBJECTIVES: 1.) To collect age, sex, length, weight, and girth data as well a genetic tissue samples from Chinook salmon caught with fishwheels and set nets, the two types of gear used in this area. 2.) To better understand stock biology and composition of the Ruby harvest throughout subsistence windows. Budget Priority Framework 2006: • Improve information on biological composition of run; and, • involve and educate users and non-users in communities to increase their desire to maintain and protect salmon stocks and habitat. US and Canada Yukon River Salmon Committee Joint Technical Committee Plan: • Estimate the stock biological or other composition of escapements – 1.1.2; and, • build and maintain community capacity – 3.2.3. Budget Priorities for 2008 & Near Term Priorities: 3. Determine the quality of stock escapement 4. Community Education and Stewardship PROJECT SUMMARY: Management of the Chinook salmon fishery is difficult due to the mixed stocks of salmon, commercial and subsistence fishing, the many tributaries and the vast distance that the Yukon River flows. As a result, several controversies have arisen over time. First are concerns over allocation of the fishery based on the size of salmon runs year to year. -

The primary purpose of the stream catalog is presentation of data for the entire Yukon River drainage, including that portion within the Canadian boundary. No attempt has been made to present analysis of data relative to its ultimate or intended use. A description of the area, data collection methods~ and fishery resources is included in this manual only to the extent required for interpretation of data presented in the stream catalog. · Data in the stream catalog are intended to be final; however, revisions will be made as historic records are uncovered~ subsequent data acquisition occurs, or errors are found. It should be emphasized that escapement information in the stream catalog DOES NOT necessarily represent total salmon escapement for any given stream, but rather is an index of abundance. Further. it is imperative that all remarks be carefully read (when they appear) for any given entry to insure proper interpretation of data. ;; List of Tables Table L Comparative Yukon River summer chum salmon aerial escapement surveys, 1974-1981. -

Chinook, Chum, and Whitefish Ecology in the Yukon River Basin
Assessment: Chinook, Chum, and Whitefish Ecology in the Yukon River Basin by Jennie Morawetz Ryke Longest, Advisor Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council, Client April 2013 Master’s Project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Environmental Management degree in the Nicholas School of the Environment of Duke University Abstract The Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council represents the indigenous people of the Yukon River. Currently, the Watershed Council is developing a Yukon River Watershed Management Plan. The heart of the plan will be a set of measurable water quality standards designed to protect the quality and flow of the Yukon River for the benefit of the river’s people and its fish species, on which the people rely for food and for maintenance of their traditional way of life. This summer, delegates from the Tribes and First Nations will decide whether to approve the proposed plan and recommend to the individual governments a proposed model ordinance incorporating by reference the water quality standards in the plan. If they adopt the plan, the Tribes and First Nations will then need to work together to compare existing conditions against the water quality standards, among other things. For a comparison of existing conditions and the water quality standards to be meaningful, it must be done in light of information on how people and how fish use the river. The Watershed Council has focused most of its energies so far on water quality as it relates to human and community health. Given this historical focus, the Watershed Council has relatively little technical information regarding fish ecology in the Yukon basin. -
