GOALS:
- Ensure that reasonable salmon escapement goals are set in consultation with tribal, federal, and state entities to allow for the conservation of fisheries while providing for long-term harvest.
- Implement research efforts to identify factors affecting fisheries resources in Norton Sound.
- Implement conservation and restoration efforts to ensure sustainability of fisheries resources.
- Increase communication between tribes, communities, and participating agencies.
