The Pebble Project is a mineral deposit in an advanced exploration stage located near Frying Pan Lake, which is 125 miles northeast of the study community of Aleknagik. The Pebble Project required updated baseline information about subsistence harvests and uses. Information was collected through systematic household surveys and mapping interviews. Scoping meetings were held in each community to elicit ideas about research questions and to learn more about issues. After preliminary study findings were available, a second round of community meetings took place to review the results. In total, 104 households were interviewed, 60% of the year-round resident households. The study documented the continuing importance of subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering to the study communities.

The study communities are located on the Kenai Peninsula of Southcentral Alaska, and many residents of each study community relied on local hunting, fishing, and wild food gathering for nutrition and to support their way of life. They used a variety of resources, including salmon and nonsalmon fish, large land mammals, small land mammals, migratory waterfowl and upland game birds, marine mammals, marine invertebrates and wild plants and berries. This study is part of the effort to collect data about the full range of subsistence harvests and uses, areas of harvest, as well as demographic and economic information to understand the subsistence way of life in all its complexity.
