This grant offered by the National Park Service aims to establish baseline information on fish assemblages, particularly Pacific salmon, in rivers flowing through Bering Land Bridge National Preserve. The project will focus on identifying changes in species distribution to aid in conservation and restoration planning. By studying genetic relationships among salmon populations, the project will help prioritize conservation efforts in the face of environmental changes. The long-term objectives include creating an inventory of fish assemblages and salmon genetic stock structure in BELA’s major rivers, with a three-year field study plan to document species, analyze genetic variation, and collect vital data on salmon populations.

| Description: | Using National Park Service (NPS) and Bering Land Bridge National Preserve (BELA) directives for guidance, this project will establish baseline information of fish assemblages, with an emphasis on Pacific salmon, in drainages flowing through the Preserve so managers can identify and understand changes in species distribution. This information is required for effective land use, conservation, and restoration planning to identify sensitive and important habitats. As the coastal environment of BELA is rapidly changing, improved understanding of genetic relationships among salmon populations can inform prioritization of conservation efforts with potential loss of habitat and abundances. The project will collect the necessary information about unique salmon populations and salmon assemblages in BELA to be able to provide proper stewardship to the resources and subsistence opportunities in the face of environmental changes.
The long-term goal is to create a baseline inventory of subsistence fish assemblages, and salmon genetic stock structure in major rivers flowing through BELA. The measurable and achievable objectives for this three (3) year collaborative field study project will investigate the Serpentine, Nuluk, Arctic, and Nugnugaluktuk rivers to: |
