Book excerpt: Interactions between resource managers, policy makers and stakeholders are action centers of natural resource policy construction. This thesis explores the construction of Alaska salmon fishery policy at both state and federal management levels through specific case studies. Alaskan fishery policy is created by regulatory officials and those that rely on natural resources for their economic and cultural survival. On one hand, local participation limits the influence of outsiders. On the other, groups of non-locals seek to gain influence and shape regulations that negatively affect local communities. This study highlights Alaska's political history for its effects on the present use of maritime resources and policies. Stakeholders in Alaska salmon fisheries and adjacent federal fisheries management areas continuously shape public policy in an effort to mitigate pressures exerted on fish stocks and their communities. Alaska fisheries management demonstrates living policy: a flexible management structure that shifts with changing priorities of its stakeholders.

Download or read book Eco labelling in Fisheries written by Bruce Phillips and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the marine fishing industry is to survive into the future, innovative approaches are necessary. Recognising that market incentives have the potential to improve fisheries management, the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has been established to harness these incentives. The work of the MSC translates through from sustainable fishery management certification, to labelling of fish and sea food products, allowing consumers to use their choice and buying power to select eco-labelled products from MSC certified fisheries. This exciting new book covers all aspects of the new eco-labelling initiative developed under the sponsorship of the MSC. Contents include details of the MSC and its certification framework and implementation, dispute resolution, chain-of-custody assessment and community fisheries certification. Also included are important case studies of the MSC certified fisheries of Australia’s western rock lobster, Alaska salmon, Thames herring and New Zealand hoki. Eco-Labelling in Fisheries is an essential purchase for all those involved in marine fisheries management throughout the world. Professionals and students in fisheries science, marine biology, ecology, conservation and environmental biology will find this book to be extremely valuable. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where these subjects are studied and taught should have multiple copies of this book on their shelves.
Download or read book Chum Salmon Stock Status and Escapement Goals in Southeast Alaska written by Andrew W. Piston and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Southeast Alaska, chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) spawn in more than 1,200 streams. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game maintains a standardized survey program to index spawning chum salmon abundance at 87 summer-run and seven fall-run streams. Lower-bound sustainable escapement goals are established for summer-run stocks comprising aggregates of index streams over three broad subregions (Southern Southeast, Northern Southeast Inside, and Northern Southeast Outside) and sustainable escapement goal ranges are established for five fall-run stocks that support directed fisheries (Cholmondeley Sound, Port Camden, Security Bay, Excursion River, and Chilkat River). We reviewed chum salmon escapement goals and recommend that summer-run chum salmon goals continue to be based on the 25th percentiles of historical escapement index counts, primarily due to the uncertainty regarding harvest rates. We recommend reducing the Northern Southeast Inside Subregion lower-bound sustainable escapement goal from 119,000 to 107,000 fish. For fall-run chum salmon stocks, except for the Chilkat River, we also recommend continuing to base escapement goals on the 25th and 75th percentiles of historical escapement index counts, and recommend no changes at this time. Summer-run chum salmon escapement goals were met in four of the past five years in the Southern Southeast and Northern Southeast Outside subregions, and in three of the past five years in the Northern Southeast Inside Subregion. Escapement goals were met for the five fall-run stocks 84% of the time over the past 5 years. The annual common property harvest of chum salmon in Southeast Alaska averaged 6.9 million fish per year since 2007; hatchery-produced fish accounted for an average 85% of that harvest. No Southeast Alaska stocks of chum salmon currently meet the criteria for stocks of concern as defined by the State of Alaska's Policy for Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (5 AAC 39.222).

Download or read book Pink Salmon Stock Status and Escapement Goals in Southeast Alaska written by Andrew W. Piston and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1990s, pink salmon have been harvested in Southeast Alaska at the highest levels since record keeping began in the late 19th century. The harvest series in Southeast Alaska has exhibited odd-year dominance since 1999 and the magnitude of this cycle increased dramatically from 2006 to 2014. Even-year pink salmon harvests averaged only 22 million fish per year since 2006, primarily due to very low harvests in the Northern Southeast Inside Subregion, which have averaged only 2.5 million fish per year since 2006. Even-year harvests in the Southern Southeast Subregion quickly rebounded after a very low harvest of 3.3 million fish in 2006. The harvest of 33.2 million fish in the Southern Southeast Subregion in 2014 was the largest even-year harvest since 1996 and was approximately double the 1960?2012 average harvest for even years. Regionwide odd-year pink salmon harvests were below recent averages in 2007 and 2009 but rebounded to 59 million in 2011 and an all-time record harvest of 95 million in 2013. Pink salmon escapement indices have been consistently within or above escapement goals in the Southern Southeast and Northern Southeast Outside subregions but were below goal in the Northern Southeast Inside Subregion in four of the past five even years. We reviewed pink salmon escapement goals and recommend no changes to the three goals for pink salmon between Dixon Entrance and Cape Fairweather; however, we recommend elimination of the Situk River goal in the Yakutat area due to a lack of reliable escapement data. Twelve index streams unsuitable for consistent surveying were eliminated in the Northern Southeast Inside Subregion. At this time, no stocks of pink salmon in Southeast Alaska meet the criteria for stocks of concern as defined by the State of Alaska's Policy for Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (5 AAC 39.222).

This book was released on 2005-06-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent declines in the abundance of salmon in the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim (AYK) region of western Alaska have created hardships for the people and communities who depend on this resource. In 2002, the AYK Sustainable Salmon Initiative (SSI) was created to undertake research to understand the reasons for this decline and to help support sustainable management in the region. This report makes recommendations for developing the research that the AYK SSI science plan should be based on, and relates the development of a restoration plan to the results of that research.
Download or read book Pink Salmon Stock Status and Escapement Goals in Southeast Alaska Through 2019 written by Andrew W. Piston and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1990s and 2000s, pink salmon were harvested in Southeast Alaska at the highest levels since record keeping began in the late 19th century. Since 2006, the average annual harvest has dropped, largely due to poor even-year returns to the Northern Southeast Inside Subregion of Southeast Alaska, but also due to recent declines in odd-year returns. Even-year pink salmon harvests averaged only 20 million fish per year since 2006, primarily due to very low harvests in the Northern Southeast Inside Subregion, which averaged only 2.3 million fish per year during that time. Odd-year harvests to the Northern Southeast Inside Subregion remained strong through 2017, but dropped to approximately 2 million in 2019, which was the lowest odd-year harvest since the late 1970s. Even-year harvests in the Southern Southeast Subregion quickly rebounded after a very low harvest of 3.3 million fish in 2006. The harvest of 33.2 million fish in the Southern Southeast Subregion in 2014 was the largest even-year harvest since 1996 and was approximately double the 1960–2012 average harvest for even years. From 2014 to 2019, the average harvest of 12.3 million in the Southern Southeast Subregion was far below the average harvest of 27.7 million from 1985 to 2014. Pink salmon escapement indices have been consistently within or above escapement goals in the Southern Southeast and Northern Southeast Outside subregions but were below the escapement goal in the Northern Southeast Inside Subregion in four of the past five even years and in three of the past five years overall. We reviewed pink salmon escapement goals and recommend no changes. At this time, no stocks of pink salmon in Southeast Alaska meet the criteria for stocks of concern as defined by the State of Alaska’s Policy for Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (5 AAC 39.222).
