The Dept. of the Interior and USDA are holding 4 listening and consultation sessions on Alaska Native subsistence in the state of Alaska this month.
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.
