The Jack Bay parcel is located on the south shore of Jack Bay in Prince William Sound approximately 12 miles from the City of Valdez. The parcel borders Chugach National Forest along the southern boundary and is heavily forested. The shoreline contains a rich intertidal mudflat with mussel beds and eelgrass beds at the mouth of Gregoreoff Creek. The parcel contains two anadromous streams and habitat supporting pink salmon and Dolly Varden. Pacific herring spawn in the intertidal area adjacent to the parcel. Bald eagles nest on the parcel. Harlequin ducks forage in Gregoreoff Creek inlet and rest on the intertidal rocks. Breeding female harlequins have also been observed on this parcel. Harbor seals are present in small numbers in Gregoreoff Creek inlet during the spawning season. The parcel is a documented subsistence area as well. Acquisition of this parcel contributes to the restoration of recreation and tourism services as the parcel is viewed by tour boats and the Alaska Marine Ferry passengers entering and leaving the Port of Valdez. This parcel enjoyed strong public support by the City of Valdez and other recreation interests.
The Ellamar package consists of 13 lots conveyed by four landowners located in Ellamar Subdivision on Virgin Bay on the east side of Tatitlek Narrows. The parcels are located approximately 2 miles north of Tatitlek. These parcels were part of a much larger (115 lot) nomination package received by the Trustee Council. Acquisition efforts focused on the lots surrounding Virgin Bay because they were not impacted by development activities and provide a viable protection unit encompassing the mouth of Gladhaugh Creek and a large intertidal area. Gladhaugh Creek, which bisects this group of parcels, provides habitat for pink salmon. Virgin Bay supports heavy concentrations of Pacific herring, intertidal/subtidal organisms, and is a documented sea otter pupping area. These parcels will also ensure public access to the adjacent uplands and provide opportunities for enhancing compatible public recreational opportunities in the future such as installing anchor buoys or other limited facilities. The parcel is located approximately 25 miles from Valdez and provides a protected anchorage for recreational boaters entering the Sound from Valdez. The parcel complements the State Marine Park System already designated within Prince William Sound.
