Description: This management plan provides an overview of recent regulation changes adopted by the Alaska Board of Fisheries and the expected run outlooks, management issues, and harvest strategies for Norton Sound salmon fisheries in 2007. Norton Sound is comprised of two fishing districts, the Norton Sound District and the Port Clarence District. Subsistence and commercial salmon fisheries occur in Norton Sound. Norton Sound District extends from Cape Douglas south to Point Romanof and includes over 500 miles of coastline. The area open to commercial salmon fishing is divided into six subdistricts. Each subdistrict contains at least one major spawning stream with commercial fishing effort located in the ocean near stream mouths. The Port Clarence District encompasses all waters from Cape Douglas north to Cape Prince of Wales.
