Several parcels were acquired in Kiliuda Bay on the east side of Kodiak Island. Parcels were either inholdings within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge boundaries or inholdings within lands acquired by the State of Alaska through the Old Harbor Exchange, a part of the Old Harbor large parcel acquisition package. Kiliuda Bay has notable wilderness qualities. The area is rich with anadromous streams supporting pink salmon, Sockeye salmon, and Dolly Varden. The bay is an important herring spawning area. In addition, the bay and surrounding uplands support harlequin ducks and bald eagles. This area provides important access for sport hunting, fishing, camping, and bear viewing. The area is also an important subsistence harvest area for residents of Old Harbor. Acquisition of these inholdings in this area enhances the restoration benefits provided by the Old Harbor large parcel acquisition.
