Description    


From 2020 to 2023, discharge measurements were taken on Nome River, Sinuk River, Penny River, Cripple River, Anvil Creek, Solomon River, and East Fork Solomon River for the purpose of developing reservation of water applications.

Project Benefit    


The rivers that flow out of the foothills north of Nome into Norton Sound support productive salmon stocks that subsistence users in the Nome area rely on every summer. Salmon depend on sufficient quantities of water to meet their spawning, rearing, incubation, overwintering, and migration habitat requirements. This project will provide long-term habitat protection by legally reserving instream flows needed to conserve salmon habitat. It is anticipated that at least five reservation of water applications will be prepared, protecting at least 121 river km of fish habitat.
