Restoration Category: General Restoration

Injured Resources Addressed: Subsistence

Abstract: Subsistence users from the Alaska Peninsula Native Village of Perryville have noted significant declines in the coho salmon run in the nearby Kametolook River since the oil spill. Criminal settlement funds were used in FY 96 to determine what method would best restore the river's coho salmon stock to historic levels. This project will provide funding through FY 02 for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to try conservative and safe restoration methods. Instream incubation boxes have been evaluated and selected as the primary restoration tool, in conjunction with self-imposed harvest limits by subsistence users, to rebuild the depressed coho salmon stock needed for subsistence in the Kametolook River.
