The Future of Alaska’s Salmon Returns
April 21, 2003
University of Alaska Anchorage
Commons Room 106
8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m.

The Future of Alaska’s Salmon Returns is the third workshop in a University of Alaska, Alaska Sea Grant and Washington Sea Grant initiative called Tools for the Salmon Industry. The success of Alaska’s wild salmon fishery ultimately depends on the amount of fish available to harvest, and the intensity and duration of fluctuations in run strength. Hardships due to market conditions are exacerbated if salmon returns are weak. What the future holds for run strengths of Alaska’s salmon populations statewide is the focus of this workshop.

The free workshop will be held April 21, 2003, from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. at the University of Alaska Anchorage Commons Room 206. Conference coordinators include Dr. Milo Adkison, SFOS Fisheries Program and Paula Cullenberg, UAF Marine Advisory Program.
