The Salmon Bycatch Committee, formed in October 2022 by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council, is holding its second meeting on Wednesday, January 25, 2023, from 9am–5pm AKT. This meeting is virtual and open to the public.
Pursuant to authority delegated by the Federal Subsistence Board, the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge In-Season Manager announces additional fishing opportunities for federally qualified subsistence users only.
Due to low abundance of coho salmon, the YDNWR Manager, after consultation with KRITFC In-Season Managers, determined that federal management is necessary for conservation.
Effective August 7 at 4 pm, ADF&G will close fishing in Kuskokwim River Sections 1-3 to protect coho salmon.
