Abstract: This project will replace lost subsistence services resulting from the oil spill by constructing enhancement projects on major salmon streams in the Lower Cook Inlet spill area (the Port Graham River and Windy Creek). Protection and enhancement will be implemented using instream fisheries habitat improvement techniques, primarily creation of spawning channels, removal of natural barriers to spawning, and construction of wall-based rearing structures. Local subsistence users will be employed as technical assistants during field surveys and construction.
