Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska, Subpart D; Seasonal Adjustments-Copper River and Yukon and Kuskokwim River Drainages

This provides notice of the Federal Subsistence Board's in- seaon management actions to protect salmon escapement in the Yukon and Kuskokwim River drainages and in the Copper River, while still providing for a subsistence harvest opportunity. The regulatory adjustments, fishing schedules, and closures will provide an exception to the Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska, published in the Federal Register on February 7, 2002. Those regulations established seasons, harvest limits, methods, and means relating to the taking of fish and shellfish for subsistence uses during the 2002 regulatory year.
