Title: Subsistence harvests and uses of salmon, trout, and char in Akhiok, Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie, and Port Lions, Alaska, 2004 and 2005
Description: Participation in the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's Kodiak Management Area salmon subsistence permitting program has been low; therefore, accurate harvest estimates have been difficult to achieve. This project provided education and outreach about the permit program as well as an evaluation of harvest assessment methods. The project included key respondent interviews, household harvest surveys, and the engagement of residents, fisheries managers, ADF&G researchers and local research assistants through public meetings and workshops.
