  • A Trip to Alaska's Brooks Range Is the Trip of a Lifetime. You’Ll See Herds of Caribou Migrating Like They Have for Thousands of Years
    Hunt ID: AK-GBearMooseCaribou-Rifle-Kotzebue-AKO-Wayne A trip to Alaska's Brooks Range is the trip of a lifetime. You’ll see herds of caribou migrating like they have for thousands of years. If you feel comfortable you can take an outfitted semi-guided Caribou Hunt for the largest member of the caribou family, the barren ground caribou. Grizzly bear are often seen splashing after salmon in the river or foraging for berries on the tundra. Moose and other wildlife, including black bears, wolverine, and wolves are seen not far from camp often. He has been hunting in this area for over 40 years and guiding for over 20 years. His son’s adult sons assist with running the camp and guiding. They have both grown up hunting in the area and pride themselves with providing you a hunt of a life time. The enormous size of the big game animals has much to do with their location so far north they must have hung bulk to withstand the long cold winter. The camp is located above the Arctic Circle, in the Squirrel River Valley of the western Brooks Range. Clients fly into the Inupiaq village of Kotzebue where they board small bush planes for the 80 mile trip to the hunting area. Base camps consist of comfortable free standing Hansen Weatherport tents with cots and heaters, including a shower tent. The main tent is a cooking area and gathering point for discussing the days hunt. Cooking is provided by the staff using a modern 4 burner gas stove with oven.

E-mail: [email protected] ABS TRACT Three new species of the genus Heritschioides, i.e., H. alaskensis sp. nov., H. kuiuensis sp. nov., and H. splendidus sp. nov., and Kekuphyllum sandoense gen. et sp. nov. from the northeastern Kuiu Island area and nearby islets, part of Alexander terrane in southeastern Alaska, and Heritschioides separatus sp. nov. from the Brooks Range, Alaska, are described and illustrated. The three new fasciculate colonial coral species from the Kuiu Island area, collected from the Moscovian Saginaw Bay Formation, are phylogenetically related to those of probable Bashkirian age in the Brooks Range in northern Alaska as shown by the presence of morphologically similar species of Heritschioides. These corals from both areas also are related to one species in the Quesnel terrane in western Canada. Kekuphyllum sandoense from the Saginaw Bay Formation of the Kuiu Island area is the only cerioid-aphroid species within the Subfamily Heritschioidinae described so far. The complete early ontogeny of a protocorallite is for the first time described here on a basis of H. kuiuensis sp. nov. and compared to the hystero-ontogeny in order to show similarities and differences in those processes.

  • Demographics and Spatial Ecology of Dall Sheep in the Central Brooks Range
    ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME FEDERAL AID FINAL DIVISION OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION PO Box 115526 RESEARCH PERFORMANCE REPORT Juneau, AK 99811-5526 PROJECT TITLE: Demographics and spatial ecology of Dall sheep in the central Brooks Range PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Stephen M. Arthur, ADF&G COOPERATORS: T. Craig, M. Cebrian, U.S. Bureau of Land Management; P. Barboza, University of Alaska Fairbanks FEDERAL AID GRANT PROGRAM: Wildlife Restoration GRANT AND SEGMENT NO.: W-33-6 through W-33-11 PROJECT NO.: 6.15 WORK LOCATION: Unit 24A, eastern Brooks Range STATE: Alaska PERIOD: 1 July 2007–30 June 2013 I. PROBLEM OR NEED THAT PROMPTED THIS RESEARCH The trans-Alaska pipeline (TAP), Dalton Highway, and two adjacent gas pipeline rights-of-way cross the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-managed utility corridor planning area in the Brooks Range, Alaska. BLM has identified 5 areas of critical environmental concern (ACEC) in this area, which are intended to protect Dall sheep habitat. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) and BLM administer separate state and federal Dall sheep hunts in the area under their respective authorities. An estimated 40% decline in the sheep population occurred in the area surrounding the utility corridor during the early 1990s. No data are available on the causes of this decline, or why the population did not recover during the relatively mild winters that followed. Potential factors that may affect sheep in the utility corridor include 1) unlimited guided sport hunting that occurs on state and federal land; 2) upgrades to the Dalton Highway that will facilitate travel and increased human use of the area; 3) proposed changes to state law that currently prohibits the use of ORVs within 5 miles of the Dalton Highway in the Brooks Range; and 4) intense interest in resource development in the area, including a proposed gas pipeline, increased mining activity, and ecotourism.

  • History of Moose in Northern Alaska and Adjacent Regions
    History of Moose in Northern Alaska and Adjacent Regions ] OHN W. COADY Alaska Department of Fish and Game, 1300 College Road, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701 Coady, John W. 1980. History of Moose in northern Alaska and adjacent regions. Canadian Field-Naturalist 94(1): 61 - 68. Moose (Alces alces) have occurred in northern Alaska since the late 1800s. Before the 1920s most Moose were probably immigrants from more southern latitudes. Breeding populations became established during the 1920s in the eastern portion of the region, and during the 1950s and 1960s in the western portion. Weather, habitat, and predation were probably not limiting factors to Moose in northern Alaska during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Temporary cessation of most hunting in northern Alaska and growth of Moose populations south of the region by 1920 were probably the most important factors promoting dispersal to, and increase in Moose numbers in, northern Alaska. Key Words: Moose, Alces alces, northern Alaska, historical account. Moose (Alces alces) are holarctic in distribution (Rausch 1963), having emigrated from Siberia across Study Area the Bering land bridge to unglaciated refugia in Northern Alaska is considered here as that portion Alaska during the early Rancholabrean Age (Illinoian of Alaska from the crest of the Brooks Range north to glaciation) (Pewe and Hopkins 1967).

The Division of Wildlife Conservation recognizes wildlife as a public trust belonging to all Alaskans. We respect the diversity of public values associated with wildlife and support uses that reflect public support and sound principles of conservation. We are an organization of individuals committed to interacting professionally with one another and the public and to using scientific data and public input to conserve Alaska's wildlife. The Bureau of Land Management is directed by Congress in the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 to manage public lands “in a manner that will protect the quality of scientific, scenic, historical, ecological, environmental, air and atmospheric, water resources, and archeological values; that where appropriate, will preserve and protect certain public lands in their natural condition, that will provide food and habitat of fish and wildlife and domestic animals, and that will provide for outdoor recreation and human occupancy and use;” (Sec.101.[43 us.s.c.1701] (a) (8)).

  • Late Carboniferous Colonial Rugosa (Anthozoa) from Alaska
    Geologica Acta, Vol.12, Nº 3, September 2014, 239-267 DOI: 10.1344/GeologicaActa2014.12.3.6 Late Carboniferous colonial Rugosa (Anthozoa) from Alaska J. FEDOROWSKI1 and C.H. STEVENS2 1Institute of Geology, Adam Mickiewicz University Maków Polnych 16, PL-61-606, Poznań, Poland. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Department of Geology, San José University San José, California 95192, USA. E-mail: [email protected] ABS TRACT Late Carboniferous colonial corals from the Moscovian Saginaw Bay Formation and the underlying Bashkirian crinoidal limestone exposed on northeastern Kuiu Island and a nearby islet, part of the Alexander terrane in southeastern Alaska, are described and illustrated for the first time, and are supplemented by revision, redescription and reillustration of most Atokan specimens from Brooks Range, northern Alaska, first described by Armstrong (1972). New taxa from the Kuiu Island area include the new species Paraheritschioides katvalae and the new genus and species Arctistrotion variabilis, as well as the new Subfamily Arctistrotioninae. The corals Corwenia jagoensis and Lithostrotionella wahooensis of Armstrong (1972) also are redefined and redescribed. Paraheritschioides jagoensis is based on the holotype of ‘C’. jagoensis. P. compositus sp. nov. is based on a “paratype” of ‘C.’ jagoensis. In addition to a redefinition and redescription of ‘L.’ wahooensis as Arctistrotion wahooense, one “paratype” of that species is described as A. simplex sp. nov. The phylogeny and suspected relationships of some fasciculate Carboniferous Rugosa also are discussed. Based on relationships and similarities within the Late Carboniferous colonial Rugosa from the Brooks Range, Kuiu Island and the eastern Klamath terrane, we conclude that all three areas were geographically close enough at that time so that larvae were occasionally dispersed by oceanic currents.

The following comments represent the consolidated views of state agencies and supplement the State’s scoping comments dated January 17, 2013, which is incorporated herein by reference. The PAC was posted on the “Documents and Reports” page of the CYRMP ePlanning website during the week of January 17, 2017, which initiated the start of a 60-day public comment period and a series of public meetings pursuant to the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) recently finalized planning rule, Planning 2.0 (FR 81, December 12, 2016). BLM issued notices to announce scheduled public meetings, however, despite our requests to also announce the availability of the PAC and associated review opportunity, no additional notice was issued. Further, the home page of the CYRMP planning website also focused primarily on the public meetings. Neither the home nor meeting pages provided links to the PAC or indicated that comments were being accepted outside attendance at the public meetings. Noticing the opportunity to comment on the PAC separate from public meeting announcements would have helped to ensure all interested stakeholders and members of the public were aware of the comment opportunity, regardless of whether they attended the meetings.
