5 AAC 18.366 - Spiridon Bay Sockeye Salmon Management Plan
(a) The department
shall manage the commercial, sport, and subsistence fisheries in Spiridon Bay
to provide for full use of the enhanced stock of sockeye salmon returning to
Spiridon Lake.
(b) The purpose of
the Spiridon Bay harvest strategy is to allow the orderly harvest of sockeye
salmon returning to Telrod Cove from the Spiridon Lake enhancement project
while providing adequate protection for local natural salmon stocks returning
to other streams of the bay. The intent of the enhancement project is for the
harvest of returning enhanced salmon to occur in traditional commercial fishing
areas of the Northwest Kodiak District during openings directed at harvesting
Karluk sockeye and westside pink and chum salmon stocks. Throughout the season,
fishing time in the Spiridon Bay Special Harvest Area may be restricted in
order to meet cost recovery goals for enhanced sockeye salmon.
(c) The Spiridon Bay Special Harvest Area
consists of all waters of Telrod Cove north of a line extending from Stream
Point at 57° 39.00' N. lat., 153° 38.50' W. long., to a point at
57° 38.80' N. lat., 153° 37.70' W. long.
(d) Only purse seines and beach seines may be
operated in the Spiridon Bay Special Harvest Area.
(e) Repealed 3/16/96.
