An action plan for stewarding sockeye salmon in Klawock Lake is now available: Klawock Lake Sockeye Salmon Action Plan (Needham et al. 2020).

The Prince of Wales communities of Klawock and Craig both share salmon resources from the Klawock Lake Watershed, and have continued to express a concern for the sockeye salmon populations in recent years. In 2016, Woll and Prussian (2016) finalized the Klawock Lake Sockeye Salmon Retrospective Analysis, which was the basis for forming a stakeholder group (including the community of Klawock) to identify the next best steps. A stakeholder meeting was held in November of 2017, with a recommendation for stakeholders to stay engaged (you can find details on this meeting here). This lead to the development of a Klawock Lake Sockeye Salmon Action Plan which includes developing a comprehensive project list, and prioritizing projects that can move forward in the near future with the following vision: “To promote healthy and sustainable sockeye salmon populations in Klawock Lake for local communities.”
