Fisheries

The Qawalangin Tribe fisheries program joins biologists, social scientists, and outreach/educators with stakeholders to develop a system of cooperative resource management for subsistence while additionally creating programs for youth education and strategic community outreach.

​

Our Current Objectives

​

• Build on partnership with Alaska Department of Fish and Game to work toward co-management of the weir at McLees Lake, to monitor sockeye salmon escapement of this important subsistence salmon run.

• Build and strengthen existing collaborative relationships with sister Tribes, local and regional partner organizations, and federal and state agencies.

• Engage in youth and community education outreach on subsistence fisheries management, including opportunities for students and local residents to engage in fisheries and research management projects. 

• Identify and communicate regional subsistence management issues and information needs to the Federal Subsistence Management Program.

• Engage local subsistence users in the Federal Subsistence Management Program.

• Facilitate and conduct research and management projects which provide information for federal subsistence managers.
