  • Southwest Alaska Salmon Habitat Partnership Strategic Plan (2017)
    Southwest Alaska Salmon Habitat Partnership Strategic Conservation Action Plan for Southwest Alaska Watersheds 2017 Update Preface In studying the history of the decline of the salmon runs of the Pacific Coast, it is striking to notice how invariably these declines are blamed on over-fishing. These statements come most often from those least acquainted with the subject and are frequently made to cover up other causes, which may be of their own making. While it is true that over-fishing is responsible for many declines, there is evidence to show that in numerous cases it is of minor or no consequence. The actual reasons are often found to be changes in the environment of the salmon due to natural and unnatural (man-made) conditions. This is especially true of the fresh water stages of its existence. Many examples could be cited. Some of the natural ones are cyclic climatic changes, floods, droughts, freezes, earthquakes, earth slides, beaver dams and increase in predators. On the other hand there are such man-made, or unnatural, causes as deforestation due to logging; hydro-electric, irrigation, flood control, and navigation projects; pollution, especially from pulp mills; soil conservation and reclamation schemes; gravel washing and mining operations; road construction such as stream culverts; insect control using poisonous sprays; and many others. The listing of these does not necessarily mean that all are inimical to the continuation of our salmon fisheries. It does mean, however, that if such projects are improperly and unwisely planned, the results will be disastrous to our fisheries. Alaska needs new industries, but not at the expense of her most important resource, which if properly cared for, will produce year after year.

  • Alaska Peninsula Becharof National Wildlife Refuges
    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.

  • Salmon Spawning Ground Surveys in the Bristol Bay Area, Alaska, 2001
    SALMON SPAWNING GROUND SURVEYS IN THE BRISTOL BAY AREA, ALASKA, 2001 By James Browning Steve Morstad Tim Sands Keith Weiland Regional Information Report1 No. 2A02-14 Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Commercial Fisheries 333 Raspberry Road Anchorage, Alaska 99518-1599 March, 2002 1 The Regional Information Report Series was established in 1987 to provide an information access system for all unpublished divisional reports. 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.

  • Egegik, Becharof
    Chapter 3 - Region 12: Egegik, Becharof Region 12: Egegik, Becharof Summary of Resources and Uses in the Region Region Boundary Region 12 includes the uplands and tidelands on a portion of the Alaska Peninsula, generally south of the Bristol Bay Borough, which contains most of the Egegik-Becharof Lake drainage and borders on the western shore of the Ugashik Lake system (Map 3-11). The Region is bounded on the northeast by the Katmai National Park and Preserve, the Lake and Peninsula Borough boundary, and the western shore of Ugashik Lake. The southern boundary is generally north of Pilot Point. The principal community is Egegik (pop. 127). State Lands: Ownership and Acreage State-owned land dominates the western one third of the Region while much of the eastern two- thirds is Federally-owned. Native ownership of land is concentrated around the community of Egegik and west of Becharof Lake. The eastern portion of the Region is within the Becharof and Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuges. The Egegik Critical Habitat Area is contained within Region 12. The plan applies to 884,300 acres of state-owned and state-selected uplands and 127,229 acres of state-owned tidelands in this region. The plan also applies to state-owned shorelands (acreages of shorelands have not been calculated). Physical Geography The western portion of Region 12 is within the Bristol Bay Lowlands ecological province; the eastern portion of the Region is in the Alaska Peninsula ecological province. Drainage is predominantly westward towards Bristol Bay. The principal drainages are the King Salmon River, which flows westward from Katmai National Park and Preserve, and the Egegik River, which flows from Becharof Lake; also included is the upper section of the Ugashik River and the Kejulik River.

INTRODUCTION This report of progress consists of Job Segment Reports from the State of Alaska Federal Aid in Fish Restoration Project F-5-R-5, "Sport Fish Investigations of Alaska." The project is composed of 25 separate studies designed to evaluate the various aspects of the State's recreational fishery resources. Of these, eight jobs are designed to continue the cataloging and inventory of the numerous State waters in an attempt to prepare an index of the recreational waters. Four jobs are designed for specific sport fishery creel census while the remainder of the jobs are more specific in nature. These include independent studies on king salmon, silver salmon, grayling, Dolly Varden, a statewide access evalua­ tion program, egg take program and a residual toxaphene study. The information gathered from the combined studies will provide the necessary background data for a better understanding of local management problems and assist in the development of future investigational studies.

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.

Many communities have stores where the work of local ivory carvers, basket weavers, skin sewers and other craftspeople may be purchased. Respect the subsistence activities of village residents. We respectfully ask you refrain from sport fishing too close to subsistence nets. Respect the spawning activity and spawning ground of the salmon. Its life cycle is vitally important to everyone in our region. Respect private lands. The region holds some 1,550 privately owned Native allotment parcels, averaging 90 acres in size, and village corporation lands in the region total more than 2.7 million acres. Please respect our land and not litter. Whatever you bring into camp, kindly take with you when you leave. Please remember that we have not inherited the land from our forefathers. We have borrowed it from our children. Help us insure that your grandchildren can enjoy it as well. Bristol Bay Region Bristol Bay region is located in Southwest Alaska and covers 46,573 square miles, roughly the size of Ohio. Bristol Bay Region Facts The region is remote with no roads access.
