3.1 Fish capture

During fieldwork in summers 2021 - 2025:

Over course of 93 fieldwork days 2021 - 2025 (including the training events), we conducted a total of 185 sampling events at 146 unique sites. See the interactive project map in the Methods section (“Site selection”) for a current map of where nominations have occurred.
Table Table 3.1 summarises total sampling events by individual site. We typically sampled a site only one time each.
We have captured 5104 fish comprised of 19 unique species. Table Table 3.2 summarizes current fish capture count by species.
Table Table 3.3 summarizes total fish capture for each species by site.

3.2 AWC Nominations

Fish capture data was evaluated against the 2025 Anadromous Waters Catalog to identify new stream segment nominations. Complete submission materials for 2021 - 2023 may be accessed in the project Google Drive folder (link), sent to the ADF&G Habitat Division in Anchorage in the fall of each year. In 2024 we submitted all nominations through the Fish Map App smartphone application from the Alaska Conservation Foundation

Total Anadromous Waters Nominations

As of October 2025, a total length of approximately 24.5 miles of stream segments and 173 lake acres were included in our 25 nominations.

Tables Table 3.4 and Table 3.5 below breaks down each stream segment nomination by length and lake by area.

3.3 Volunteer participation

Volunteer recruitment efforts resulted in a steadily increasing level of participation from the general public. A total of 665 volunteer hours were documented throughout the project, with higher outlays in 2021 and 2025 to initiate training.

The level of volunteer participation, along with experience gained, mostly tracked the quantity of nominations submitted each year, with a steadily rising number of nominations from 2021 to 2023. 2024 saw very minimal funding resources directed towards fieldwork, thus the number of volunteer hours declined. Despite this reduced funding in 2024, seven nominations were submitted. The result speaks to how sustained financial support, even if fluctuating in amount, is important to keep projects such as this in progress.

In 2025, several training events were held in collaboration with Cook Inletkeeper as part of our shared Backyard Salmonscapes program. Volunteers also contributed efforts to our technical mapping efforts in progress, in collaboration with consultants Terrainworks and Romey Riverscape Sciences.

3.4 Aquatic Resource Permit

Fish capture data was reformatted each fall in to a csv file for submission to ADF&G in fulfillment of the required Aquatic Resource Permit ¹; available in the online in this project’s GitHub repo ².
