Kenai Peninsula Fish Habitat Partnership is a conservation partnership developing on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. This partnership is working with the National Fish Habitat Action Plan to protect, restore, and enhance our area's fish and aquatic communities.
The Kenai Peninsula Fish Habit...

Alaska Online Aquatic Temperature Site (AKOATS) Through a grant from the US Fish and Wildlife Service on behalf of the Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC), we are developing a comprehensive statewide inventory of current and historic continuous monitoring locations for stream...

This plan provides a rationale and means to prioritize the allocation of resources for the restoration of watershed in the Cobble Area. While the extraction and development of natural resources has been and continues to be important to the economies of the nearby communities of Thorne Bay and ...

Project Abstract

This project offers the first scientific research of fish communities in the Fox River Flats Critical Habitat Area, located in Kachemak Bay, southern Cook Inlet, Alaska. Fish assemblages were assessed in a variety of habitats initially, with research beco...

The data set contains water temperature data from the 2015 field season. Sites include a lower, middle, and upper reach from each of the three focus tributaries in the test case (Beaver Creek, Russian River, and Ptarmigan Creek).

Data acquired from HOBO ProTemp v2 loggers at 15 minu...

ArcGIS Online map of field sites from 2015 Aquatic Ecology research on impacts of climate change on juvenile Chinook and Coho salmon.

Map is linked to numerical and photographic database for spatial organization of field data. At each point on the map the user will be able to acces...

Poster and Abstract, presented at the annual meeting of Alaska chapter of the American Fisheries Society (AFS). Homer, Alaska, November 5, 2015.

Applications of video in fisheries research range from simple biodiversity surveys to three-dimensional (3D) measurement of complex swimming, schooling, feeding, and territorial behaviors. However, researchers lack a transparently developed, easy-to-use, general purpose tool for 3D video measurem...

Duck Creek is listed as an impaired water body by the state of Alaska. Four decades of urbanization in the watershed have contributed to poor water quality and loss of aquatic habitat, diminishing the creek’s ability to support fish and wildlife (Koski and Lorenz 1999). In recent years, restor...

This document encourages the use of bioengineered bank treatment options as alternatives to traditional stone riprap revetment on the Mendenhall River where bank stabilization is desired and fish habitat must be maintained. Stone riprap has previously been installed to full bank height along s...

What is ACWA? The Alaska Clean Water Actions (ACWA) was created through Administrative Order 200. This directive told Alaska resource agencies to work together to characterize Alaska's waters in a holistic manner; sharing data, expertise and other information. ACWA's database of priority waters ...

The USFS Sitka Ranger District initiated this Duffield Peninsula Watershed Restoration Plan to collect, summarize and analyze both existing and new data in order to describe the existing condition of this watershed. This information will also be used to compare existing conditions to the desire...

A Proper Functioning Condition assessment (PFC) was conducted to determine the functionality of aquatic systems in the Klawock Watershed. The Central Council Tlingit and Haida Tribes of Alaska solicited the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) to conduct the assessment in response to local concerns regardi...

Lemon Creek is located in the City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ), Alaska, five miles northwest of downtown Juneau. The creek flows approximately seven miles east to west, from its headwaters at Lemon Glacier to the outlet at Gastineau Channel. Several small, clear water tributaries are included ...

This dataset currently contains ADFG-SF survey points associated with various stream habitat surveys conducted throughout Southeast Alaska since the year 2001. All survey points were spatially captured in the field using hand-held consumer grade GPS units and were associated with aquatic habitat ...

Establishing a process baseline for fish habitat in beaded streams and connected lakes in an area of the National Petroleum Reserve – Alaska (NPR-A) scheduled for petroleum development. This involves monitoring stream discharge, temperature, and water quality in four catchments where development ...

The coastal Gulf of Alaska (GoA) region is experiencing accelerating climate change as manifested by rapid recession of glaciers; climate models predict up to a 40% increase in river runoff from Alaska rivers by 2050. Over coming decades an increase in glacier-dominated river discharge is likely,...

Hydrologic investigations cover a range of issues and locations to provide reimbursable customers with specific research or monitoring to address management or regulatory goals. For example, the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities have the need to monitor bridges for scour a...

This data set represents the extent, approximate location and type of wetlands and deepwater habitats in the Alaska, United States. These data delineate the areal extent of wetlands and surface waters as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979). Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National ma...

This data set represents the extent, approximate location and type of wetlands and deepwater habitats in Southeast Alaska. These data delineate the areal extent of wetlands and surface waters as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979). Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping pro...

Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) are widely distributed on the Arctic Coastal Plain (ACP) of Alaska, and are one of the few upper level consumers in streams, but the trophic pathways and food resources supporting these fish are unknown. Grayling migrate each summer into small beaded streams, ...

Climate change is predicted to dramatically change hydrologic processes across Alaska, but estimates of how these impacts will influence specific watersheds and aquatic species are lacking. Here, we linked climate, hydrology, and habitat models within a coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) populati...

The water temperature in lakes, rivers and streams has significant impacts on water quality, fish habitats, and local economies and is linked to regional/large-scale climate variability. This project analyzed Jun-Aug average water temperatures at seven rivers/streams situated along the southern c...

Avian aerial surveys were conducted in the Colville Delta and in the northeastern National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska (NE NPRA) in 2011 in support of the Alpine Satellite Development Project (ASDP) for ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc., and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. The surveys continued long...

The vegetation of the Toolik Lake area was described and mapped by D. A. Walker et al. during the Department of Energy R4D (Response, Resistance, and Resilience to, and Recovery from Disturbance in Arctic ecosystems, Grant No. DE-FG02-84ER60242.A006) study in 1988-89. Toolik Lake is a glaciated l...
