Carlsen Point is located at the confluence of Zachar and Uyak bays, about six miles east of the village of Larsen Bay. The intertidal habitats and shallow marine environments of Carlsen Point are biologically rich and provide high value habitat for fish and wildlife. One of the parcels is bisected by an unnamed cove that is an important molting area for large numbers of harlequin ducks. Pigeon guillemots and sea ducks use the area year round. Black oystercatchers forage in the intertidal habitats along the shorelines. Sea otters are common in near shore waters and harbor seals haul out on adjacent sand bars.
The area offers recreational and subsistence opportunities in a scenic, wilderness setting. Acquisition of these parcels contributes to the wilderness, habitat, recreational, and subsistence restoration benefits of the surrounding Koniag large parcel acquisition.
