NTR 1 INTRODUCTION The refuges within the Alaska Peninsula/Becharof National Wildlife Refuge Complex (Complex) were established by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (ANILCA) . The Becharof Refuge contains approximately 1.2 million acres. Approximately 400,000 acres is designated the Becharof Wilderness. The Alaska Peninsula Refuge boundaries encompass about 4.3 million acres of land-- an area bigger than the State of Connecticut. Stretching for nearly 340 miles along the Alaska Peninsula, the refuge is subdivided into the Ugashik, Chignik, and Pavlof units. The Alaska Peninsula Unit of the Alaska Maritime Refuge includes all federally owned islands, sea stacks, columns, and rocks along the Pacific Coast of the Alaska Peninsula. Seal Cape (8,200 acres) is the only portion of the unit located on the mainland. The Becharof Refuge, the Ugashik and Chigni~ units, and Seal Cape are included in the Complex (Figures 1 - 3). The purposes for the refuges in the Complex were established by ANILCA. Becharof Refuge purposes include: (I) to conserve fish and wildlife populations and habitats in their natural diversity including, but not limited to, brown bears, salmon, migratory birds, the Alaska Peninsula caribou herd and marine birds and mammals; (ii) to fulfill international treaty obligations of the United States with respect to fish and wildlife and their habitats; (iii) to provide, in a manner consistent with the purposes set forth in subparagraphs (I) and (ii), the opportunity for continued subsistence uses by local residents; and (iv) to insure, to the maximum extent practicable and in a manner consistent with the purposes set forth in paragraph (I), water quality and necessary water quantity within the refuge. [ANILCA 302(2) (B)] The Alaska Peninsula Refuge purposes add, "· .. brown bears, the Alaska Peninsula caribou herd, moose, sea otters and other marine mammals, shorebirds and other migratory birds, raptors, including bald eagles and peregrine falcons, and salmonids and other fish". [ANILCA 302(1) (B)] Species mentioned in the ANILCA specific to Seal Cape, Alaska Maritime Refuge include, "· .. marine mammals, marine birds and other migratory birds, the marine resource upon which they rely, bears, caribou, and other mammals". [ANILCA 303 (1) (B)] Becharof Lake, its tributary streams, the Ugashik lakes, Black Lake, King Salmon rivers (2), Dog Salmon River, Meshik River and Chignik River provides nursery habitat necessary

    Fishery Management Plan ALASKA PENINSULA BECHAROF NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES July 1994 Region 7 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service • Department of the Interior FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN ALASKA PENINSULA AND BECHAROF NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES Fiscal Years 1994 - 1998 Prepared By: King Salmon Fishery Resource Office U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service P.O. Box 277 King Salmon, Alaska 99613 May 1994 SUMMARY STATEMENT The Alaska Peninsula and Becharof National Wildlife Refuges Fishery Management Plan (Plan) provides the management direction necessary to ensure conservation of fishery resources and habitat. In addition, the Plan provides for continued use of fishery resources by subsistence, commercial, and recreational users consistent with the purposes for which the Alaska Peninsula and Becharof refuges (Complex) were established and are managed. The Complex's biological and physical environment is described and fishery resources, human use, management history, and major issues and concerns are discussed. This information was obtained from the Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plans, a literature search, and discussions with Alaska Department of Fish and Game personnel. Objectives and tasks are developed to address the issues and concerns. Federal tasks are assigned priorities and costs for each year of continuation. The Plan encompasses a five year period, at which time it will be revised. Major issues and concerns identified include the following: competition between user groups; incomplete salmon escapement data bases to refine management of the Complex fish populations; and inadequate fishery law enforcement. In some cases, concerns were identified because of the perception that they would develop into serious problems if current levels of use or consumption were allowed to continue or expand.

These reports frequently serve diverse ad hoc informational purposes or archive basic un-interpreted data. To accommodate timely reporting of recently collected information, reports in this series undergo only limited internal review and may contain preliminary data; this information may be subsequently finalized and published in the formal literature. Consequently, these reports should not be cited without prior approval of the author or the Division of Commercial Fisheries. AUTHORS James Browning is the Nushagak Area Management Biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Commercial Fisheries Division, 333 Raspberry Road, Anchorage, AK 99518.

  • Navigable Rivers and Lakes
    Chapter 3 – Navigable Rivers and Lakes Navigable Rivers and Lakes Management Intent of Navigable Waterbodies Background The intent of the plan is to designate and provide management intent for the shorelands under all navigable waterbodies. There are so many navigable rivers and lakes in the planning area that it is not practical to state the management intent for each individual waterbody. Therefore the plan identifies general management intent and designations for most of the waterbodies within the planning area. In some cases, however, specific designations are identified for a particular waterbody because of the size, uniqueness, or particular values and functions of a river or lake. The term "shorelands" is defined as land belonging to the state, which is covered by non-tidal water that is navigable under the laws of the United States up to the ordinary high water mark as modified by accretion, erosion, or reliction (AS 38.05.965). See Figure 1.1 at the beginning of Chapter 1 for a diagram that illustrates the differences between shorelands, submerged lands, and uplands. Shorelands are not identified on the preceding plan designation maps within this Chapter. Identification of all such waterbodies is impractical on maps of the scale used in this plan. The DNR records on navigability and hydrology must be consulted in order to determine whether a specific stream or lake is likely to be navigable. These records are available in the Public Access Assertion & Defense Unit, Division of Mining, Land, and Water in Anchorage. For further information on the state’s navigability policy, go to http://www.dnr.state.ak.us/mlw/nav/nav_policy.htm Public Trust Doctrine The Public Trust Doctrine provides that public trust lands, waters and living natural resources in a state are held by the state in trust for the benefit of all the people, and establishes the right of the public to fully utilize the public trust lands, waters, and resources for a wide variety of public uses.

Smolt numbers can provide data needed to evaluate freshwater production, set biological escapement goals, and forecast adult returns. Two independent sonar systems were operated on each river and used to generate separate abundance estimates.
