The China Poot dipnet fishery is a personal use fishery supported by CIAA and area commercial fishermen.

Alaska salmon fishermen pursue their catch using many methods and gear types. Here are the ones used in our region.

Delight Lake is not the easiest place to operate a salmon weir, but it provides key data that helps accurately count salmon.

While its hatcheries raise and release millions of salmon a year, CIAA also collects data, improves habitat, and provides public education.

Common property, or “common use,” balances public access and regulation. Alaska’s constitution makes salmon a common property open to all.

For almost five decades, the salmon hatchery at Tutka Bay Lagoon has provided millions of pounds of fish and hundreds of local jobs.
