We are launching a drone educational program to provide training for local Kuskokwim community members to obtain a commercial drone license for fisheries research purposes.
This is an announcement from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (the Department) in Bethel for subsistence fishermen in the Kuskokwim River.
The Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge (YDNWR) Manager, in partnership with the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (KRITFC), determined that Federal management for the conservation of Chinook, Chum, and Coho is no longer needed in 2025.
After consultation with KRITFC's In-Season Managers, the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge Manager, Spencer Rearden, issued another announcement for subsistence fishing in federal waters of the Kuskokwim River. These opportunities are for Federally Qualified Subsistence Users.
Pursuant to authority delegated by the Federal Subsistence Board, the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge Manager, as In-Season Manager, hereby announces additional fishing opportunities for Federally qualified subsistence users only.
