Zachar Bay Small Parcels

These small parcels are located along the shoreline of Zachar Bay. The nearshore waters of the bay are rich with marine wildlife, including marine mammals. Harbor seals and sea otters are abundant and haulout on rocks and sandbars just offshore. Harlequin ducks, pigeon guillemots, marbled murrelets, and black oystercatchers rely on productive intertidal and subtidal habitats. The area is heavily used by goldeneye and surf scoters. Bald eagles nest on these and adjacent lands.

The shorelines in this area are accessible and provide marine access to the surrounding public lands. These parcels have important wilderness characteristics and provide subsistence and recreational opportunities. Acquiring these parcels and the surrounding Koniag lands have contributed to the restoration of sockeye salmon, pink salmon, Dolly Varden, bald eagles, black oystercatchers, common murres, harbor seals, sea otters, harlequin ducks, intertidal and subtidal resources, marbled murrelets, pigeon guillemots, recreation, wilderness and subsistence resources and services.
