DRAFT Alaska Salmon Research Task Force Report October 2023

The following is the initial DRAFT of our AKSRTF Report as of October 2023.  Our goal is to keep the report to about 30 pages, but we will have appendices to capture all relevant information.  To date, we have two appendices that include Existing Knowledge and Organizations engaged in salmon research in Alaska.  We will continue to build the report based on AKSRTF input, the Arctic Yukon Kuskokwim Working Group report recommendations on research needs for the AYK Region, and Public Comment.

At this time, we are seeking Public Comment on: Existing Knowledge, Research Gaps, and Applied Research that is needed to better understand the increased variability and declining salmon returns in some regions of Alaska.

We greatly value your input in the development of this report. Comments on Existing Knowledge, Research Gaps, and Applied Research Needs can be given via this form.
