Lewis, P.E., B.S. Anchorage, Alaska May 2015 iii Abstract A three-dimensional unsteady flow numerical model was developed to study sediment transport due to tidal circulation within Knik Arm, a dynamic well mixed macro-tidal sub-estuary of Cook Inlet in Alaska. The model was developed to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms that are creating the Point MacKenzie Shoal, located approximately 4 kilometers south of Port MacKenzie. Hydrodynamic conditions within the estuary are very complex in that ebb-and-flood tides, freshwater mixing, and wetting/drying of tidal mud flats significantly effects sediment transport within the estuary. A Mike 3 numerical model was applied to simulate the sediment transport within the estuary under the action of tidal currents in the vicinity of the shoal.

  • Juvenile Pacific Salmon Use of Knik Arm Estuaries: a Literature Review
    Juvenile Pacific Salmon Use of Knik Arm Estuaries: A Literature Review Estuaries are known to provide several important functions for juvenile Pacific salmon. They act as a refuge from predators, an area for salinity adjustment, and a nursery for feeding and growth. The level of a juvenile salmon’s dependency on an estuary is determined by several factors including; the species, the size upon entry into the estuarine environment, the amount of available food within the estuary, the amount of available food within other associated nursery habitats, and the physical conditions of the estuary (Healy, 1982). The Knik Arm is a dynamic tidal estuary that supports five species of Pacific salmon. It is characterized by strong currents, large tidal flats, high suspended sediment loads, and seasonal ice substrate scouring (Prevel- Ramos et al. 2012). Previous research has been conducted within the lower portion of the Knik Arm (Dames and Moore 1983, and Houghton et al. 2005) as well as within the greater Cook Inlet (Abookire et. al., Blackburn, 1978, Moulton 1997, Nemeth et al. 2007, and Wolf et al. 1983) These studies have revealed some important information as to how the different species utilize the Cook Inlet and Knik Arm estuary. Temporal and Spatial Use Studies throughout the Pacific Northwest compiled and compared by Healy (1982) have revealed some general trends as to the temporal and special use of estuaries by juvenile salmon. Pink and chum salmon have been found to migrate as fry early in the spring soon after emergence. Pink salmon only reside in inner estuaries for a day or two before moving to rear in outer estuaries or moving directly to sea.

  • THE TURNAGAIN-KNIK REGION. by STEPHEN R. CAPPS. the Turnagain-Knik Region, As Here Defined, Includes the Area Bordered on the No
    THE TURNAGAIN-KNIK REGION. By STEPHEN R. CAPPS. INTRODUCTION. LOCATION. The Turnagain-Knik region, as here defined, includes the area bordered on the north and northwest by Knik River and Knik Arm and on the south by Turnagain Arm, Portage Creek, and Portage Glacier. As thus outlined the region is roughly triangular in shape and lies between latitude 60° 45' and 61° 30' and longitude 148° 30' and 150° 5'. (See PI. VI.) On its eastern edge the area studied is bordered by rugged unexplored mountains with* glacier-filled val­ leys, in which travel is slow and difficult. The area of the present investigation was limited in that direction to the more accessible valleys, with the object of covering as much ground as possible within the field season. PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS. The first -geologic investigation in this region was made in 1898, when W. C. Mendenhall,1 who was attached to a War Department expedition in charge of Capt. E. F. Glenn, crossed from Portage Bay over Portage Glacier and descended Portage Creek for a few miles before returning by the same route. A few weeks later he traveled up Glacier Creek and its tributary Crow Creek to the divide and descended Raven Creek and Eagle River (Yukla Creek) to its mouth. In 1904 F. H. Moffit, while studying the gold placers of the Turnagain Arm region 2 visited the placer mines on Crow Creek and prepared a full description of the mining developments at that time. In 1911 B. L. Johnson and later A. H. Brooks, G. C. Martin, and B.

  • Traditional Resource Uses in the Knik Arm Area: Historical and Contemporary Patterns
    TRADITIONAL RESOURCE USES IN THE KNIK ARM AREA: HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY PATTERNS bY James A. Fall Technical Paper Number 25 Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Subsistence Anchorape, Alaska December 2, 1981 TRADITIONAL RESOURCE USES IN THE KNIK ARM AREA: HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARYPATTERNS James Fall Resource Specialist III ABSTRACT This report is a summary of the historical and current uses of wild resources in the Knik Arm drainage area of Alaska. It focuses on the area's aboriginal inhabitants, the -Knik Arm Tanaina (Dena'ina), whose principal communities today include Knik and Eklutna. The paper concludes with an overview of contemporary patterns of resource use within these Dena'ina com- munities. The data derive from several years (1978-1981) of ethnohistorical and ethnographic research on the Upper Cook Inlet region. After a review of the geography and most important natural resources of the region, the report examines the subsistence activities of the Knik Arm Dena'ina within four historic periods: 1) Pre-contact (before 1800); 2) Fur Trade Era (1790's to 1890's); 3) Era of Commercial Activities (1890's _ to 1930's); and 4) Post-World War II (1940's to the present). It notes a basic continuity in resource uses throughout all four periods. The round of subsistence pursuits in aboriginal times included the use of a wide variety of seasonally abundant wild resources. Salmon, especially kings, reds, and silvers, were the major staple of the diet. Waterfowl, eulachon, seal, fresh water fish, moose, caribou, sheep, small game, fur bearers, and numerous plant species were among the other i,mportant sources of food and raw materials which derived from the natural environment.
