Description
Stream habitat and fish distribution data for the Kendrick Bay, Tolstoi Creek, and Salt Chuck watersheds were collected during the summer and fall field season in 2015. Utilizing the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Sport Fish Region V Stream Habitat Survey User Guide protocols, the locally hired field crew mapped and classified stream habitat and conducted anadromous fish surveys for approximately 10 km of stream channel and over 65 fish observations. The results of the fish distribution information collected resulted in one Anadromous Waters Catalog nomination for the Kendrick Bay watershed, two Anadromous Waters Catalog nominations for the Salt Chuck watershed, and three Anadromous Waters Catalog nominations in the Tolstoi Creek watershed. These nominations represent 0.89 km of stream not previously included in the Anadromous Waters Catalog, as well as seven additions of new species or life stage information on particular streams. Nomination packets will be reviewed by the ADF&G for inclusion in the Anadromous Waters Catalog during the 2017 water year. In addition, stream habitat data have been collected into a geodatabase and have been used to updated the SE GIS Library’s SEAKHydro data layer. This data will be used to analyze potential land use activities and restoration actions in these areas.
Stream miles surveyed fell short of expectation due in part to errors or outdated information in the hydrography data set used in the estimation which showed many small streams that were dry or nonexistent during surveys. In addition, fewer of the surveyed streams containing anadromous salmonids resulted in new additions to the Anadromous Waters Catalog.
Project Benefit
Kendrick Bay, Tolstoi (Jacob’s Creek), and Salt Chuck support important subsistence salmon fisheries for Prince of Wales’s Tlingit and Haida people and the community of Kasaan. This project will provide legal protection for these watersheds through listing in Alaska’s Catalog of Waters Important for the Spawning, Rearing or Migration of Anadromous Fishes. Accomplishments
