Kodiak Regional Planning Team Meeting
Thursday, April 18th, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
To be held virtually via Zoom
The ADF&G announces the Kodiak Regional Planning Team (KRPT) will meet at the above time and date via Zoom. Regional Planning Teams (RPTs) are a valuable part of the State of Alaska’s salmon fishery enhancement program. RPTs are advisory to the commissioner of Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). RPTs are composed of six members, three are ADF&G staff appointed by the commissioner and three are fishery representatives appointed by the regional aquaculture association. RPT meetings are open to the public and public participation is encouraged.
The topics of the meeting will be an overview of Kodiak Regional Aquaculture Association’s (KRAA) 2024 releases, egg takes, and returns for Kitoi Bay and Pillar Creek hatcheries; summaries of the 2024 salmon harvest; and ADF&G and KRAA data collection and research projects; 2024 hatchery annual management plans; as well as a discussion of designating criteria for unique and wild stocks in the Kodiak Area. The KRPT will review and provide a recommendation on a permit alteration request (PAR) from KRAA for a coho salmon release from Kitoi Bay Hatchery. The meeting is open to the public and public participation is encouraged.
