Meeting Information for the Alaska Salmon Research Task Force and updates on the task force activities
The Alaska Salmon Research Task Force was created by an act of Congress in response to recent unprecedented shifts in Pacific salmon abundance in Alaska. The purpose of the Alaska Salmon Research Task Force is to compile science and Traditional Knowledge, to identify what is known about salmon in Alaska, data gaps, and needed research. This information will be used to develop a coordinated salmon research strategy for sustainable salmon management in Alaska.
Task Force meetings are open to the public. Time has been reserved at the end of each bi-monthly Task Force meeting for public comment. We greatly value your input in the development of this strategy.
If you would like to provide written comment(s) to inform the Task Force discussions and the development of its collaborative science plan, please provide information via this feedback form. The deadline for submitting input is March 15, 2024. Google Form
