Yukon River Salmon Management Pre-Season Meeting
March 24, 2022 @ 8:30 am - 5:00 pm AKDT
The all day Pre-season fisheries meeting will bring together Tribal representatives, state, and federal fisheries managers, and other fisheries groups and individuals to talk about the management of the upcoming 2022 summer Chinook and chum salmon fisheries on the Yukon River. The meeting agenda will include presentations from local representatives, fishery managers, current research projects, and include time for community representatives to engage in conversations with each other to provide input with the state and federal managers for each fishing district.
In light of the 2020 and 2021 fishing closures, it is only with the participation of all fishing villages along with the Yukon River, working together, that we can address the need to balance careful management of the Chinook and chum salmon in the Yukon River while allowing families to provide for their subsistence needs. While we all long for run strength of the past, for our salmon to improve it is paramount that Yukon River fisheries and fishery managers, researchers, and other stakeholders work closely together for continuing to meet escapement goals in Canada and Alaska while also planning for the proper fishing response based on run strength.
YRDFA will be following the COVID guidelines from CDC and request all participants mask-up while engaging during the meeting. For your safety and the safety of others we encourage all representatives to test upon returning to their home communities and following their communities quarantining recommendations.
Representatives will be contacted by an employee with their travel logistics. If you have any questions you can contact me at 907-272-3141 or email at serena@yukonsalmon.org.
Quyana for your time and we look forward to seeing everyone.
