The Alaska Department of Fish and Game announces the Kodiak Regional Planning Team (KRPT) will meet at the above time and date via Zoom.

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) releases, egg takes and returns for Kitoi Bay and Pillar Creek hatcheries in 2025; summaries of the 2025 salmon harvest; and ADF&G and KRAA data collection and research projects; as well as a discussion of designating criteria for unique and wild stocks in the Kodiak Area. The meeting is open to the public and public participation is encouraged.
