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. Port Graham Corporation, with advice from an Alaska Department of Fish and Game fisheries specialist, is supervising the project and coordinating with a professional fisheries scientist and resource consultants. Local subsistence users were employed as technical assistants during the field survey and construction of the habitat improvement structures. In FY 98, two projects were implemented: construction of a fish pass on the Port Graham River and a rearing pond on Windy Creek Left. In FY 99, the success of these two projects will be monitored and vegetation will be planted around the rearing ponds.
