Westward Region Limnology
Synopsis:
This project will collect spatial and temporal baseline water quality data and conduct the analysis and reporting of these baseline data from eight sockeye salmon nursery lakes of the Alaska Peninsula (two lakes) and Kodiak Archipelago (six lakes). It will monitor and describe the rearing site characteristics and ecological factors that may limit or enhance sockeye salmon production and fisheries management, and improve the assessment of current escapement goals and forecasts via the incorporation and development of limnology models or data relative to current climatic conditions.
