Abstract: This project will replace lost subsistence services by constructing enhancement projects on two of the major salmon streams in the lower Cook Inlet spill area. In FY 98, two projects were constructed: a fish pass on the Port Graham River and rearing ponds for coho salmon on Windy Creek Left. In FY 99, vegetation is being planted around the rearing ponds. In FY 99 and FY 00, the success of the two projects will be monitored by surveying use by anadromous fish. Local subsistence users are being employed as technical assistants during construction and monitoring.
