SASAP working group and project support
Beginning in 2016, nine SASAP working groups formed – each composed of between 12 and 24 knowledge experts from a range of disciplines, backgrounds, and regions. Each participant brought his or her data and experiences for synthesis and analysis, while NCEAS provided logistical and technical support to facilitate each group’s innovative work. Each of the nine groups focused on specific issues related to salmon and people in Alaska: Four SASAP groups were tasked with integrating knowledge across multiple disciplines to understand the fundamental state of knowledge of Alaska’s salmon systems. The work of each group is presented for each of the major watersheds in Alaska in the Region section (https://alaskasalmonandpeople.org/regions/). An additional five working groups were selected to focus on specific research questions that provide insight into the pressures on salmon and salmon communities, as well as options for response to those pressures. Their work is presented in the Special Topics section (https://alaskasalmonandpeople.org/topics/).

Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Commercial Fisheries, Central Region
Central Region Alaska commercial fisheries are composed of four distinct management areas that include Bristol Bay, Prince William Sound and Copper River, Upper Cook Inlet, and Lower Cook Inlet. Although all 5 species of salmon are harvested in each area, sockeye and pink salmon are the most abundant and most valuable. This area encompasses some of the largest and most valuable salmon fisheries in the world. From Bristol Bay, home of the largest sockeye salmon fishery in the world, to the Copper River where sockeye and Chinook salmon fetch some of the highest prices per pound paid to commercial fishermen. Cook Inlet commercial fisheries occur near the largest population center in Alaska, providing salmon to numerous niche and local markets, as well as fresh salmon to markets in other states. Prince William Sound adds productive healthy pink, chum, and sockeye salmon fisheries to the region. Southcentral groundfish fisheries are small, yet diverse, targeting pollock, Pacific cod, rockfish, sablefish, lingcod, and skate while small shrimp and scallop fisheries in Prince William Sound cater predominately to local markets. Southcentral commercial fisheries are of tremendous importance and an integral part of many communities and local economies in the state.

Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Commercial Fisheries, Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim Region
The Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim (AYK) Region encompasses the coastal waters of Alaska and includes the rivers and streams that drain into the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas. It stretches from its boundary at Cape Newenham with the Bristol Bay area to the border with Canada on the Arctic Ocean. The Yukon River, with the fifth largest drainage in North America, lies within this management region, as do many other major rivers; the Kuskokwim being second in size next to the Yukon. With the exception of Fairbanks, Bethel, and Nome, this is a region of villages. Salmon and herring are the most important fisheries resources in this region. Large numbers of salmon are taken for subsistence and subsistence harvests can equal or surpass the numbers of fish harvested in commercial fisheries, especially Chinook salmon. King crab is harvested near Nome in both commercial and subsistence fisheries. Whitefish are also important to the residents of this region.

Prince William Sound is a region of rain, icefields, and glaciers. Only two (Whittier and Valdez) of Prince William Sound’s largest human communities are connected via road. The terminus of the Alaska oil pipeline ends in this region and results in a fairly high footprint of human activity in a relatively small region. Pink salmon, chum salmon, and sockeye salmon fisheries are current mainstays of local communities with hatchery enhancement of these species (particularly pink salmon) a fundamental dynamic in the region.

A river in south-central Alaska in the United States. It drains a large region of the Wrangell Mountains and Chugach Mountains into the Gulf of Alaska. The Copper River rises out of the Copper Glacier, which lies on the northeast side of Mount Wrangell, in the Wrangell Mountains, within Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. It begins by flowing almost due north in a valley that lies on the east side of Mount Sanford, and then turns west, forming the northwest edge of the Wrangell Mountains and separating them from the Mentasta Mountains to the northeast. It continues to turn southeast, through a wide marshy plain to Chitina, where it is joined from the southeast by the Chitina River. Downstream from its confluence with the Chitina it flows southwest, passing through a narrow glacier-lined gap in the Chugach Mountains east of Cordova Peak. There is an extensive area of sand dunes between the Copper and Bremner Rivers. Both Miles Glacier and Child's Glacier calve directly into the river.
Copper River
Fewer than 2500 people live permanently in the Copper River region, an area comparable in size to the state of West Virginia.

Non-agency members participate on a voluntary basis and receive no compensation. Participation in the Working Group process requires a great deal of time from its members and agency staff. The relationship among Working Group members, research planners, project leaders, and policy makers is fostered, and these interactions are critical to the aim of the Working Group. This relationship ensures that participants remain up-to-date on new information and maintain their direct involvement in management of Kuskokwim River salmon fisheries.

Populates the SASAP Data Portal (https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/portals/SASAP/Data) faceted search field, 'Working Group'
A permanent or semi-permanent state govenrment organization which is responsible for the oversight and administration of specific functions.
The Southeast Alaska/Yakutat Region (Region I) consists of Alaska waters between Cape Suckling on the north and Dixon Entrance on the south. Salmon are commercially harvested in Southeast Alaska with purse seines and drift gillnets; in Yakutat with set gillnets; and in both areas with hand and power troll gear. Herring are harvested in winter bait, sac roe, spawn-on-kelp, and bait pound fisheries. Miscellaneous shellfish (sea cucumber, sea urchins, and geoduck clams) are harvested in dive fisheries in the region. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has management jurisdiction over all groundfish resources within state waters in Region I. In addition, the State has management authority for Demersal Shelf Rockfish, ling cod, and black and blue rock fish in both state and federal waters. There are several commercially important shellfish species in Southeast Alaska. They include golden and red king crab, Dungeness crab, Tanner crab, and pandalid shrimp.

Chignik
Despite being the smallest salmon-people region of Alaska (6,587 km²), Chignik is remarkably rich in habitat diversity–which translates into biological diversity of its salmon. The Chignik region is home to multiple dispersed communities such as Chignik Lake, Chignik Lagoon, Chignik Bay, Perryville, and Ivanof Bay. The bounding coordinates for this SASAP region are: North: 57.142 degrees South: 55.5261 degrees East: -155.4645 degrees West: -159.6479 degrees

The thirteen SASAP regions were determined based on their geography, and in many cases represent large watersheds where all precipitation melts and flows into the same part of the ocean. Regions tend to also be grouped by Indigenous cultures and languages, evidence of the deep-time ties between Alaska’s salmon and people. Some regions align with current Alaska Department of Fish & Game (ADF&G) statistical areas; some do not. The bounding coordinates and shapefiles for each region are accessible at: https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/view/doi%3A10.5063%2FF1WH2N8W

Bristol Bay is sockeye salmon country. The region is a land of great inland lakes, ideally suited to the juvenile life of sockeye salmon. The habitats here are virtually pristine and intact with a notable absence of mining and offshore oil and gas exploration in the region. The long proposed Pebble Mine, situated at the intersection between the Nushagak River and Kvichak River watersheds, would unquestionably and permanently change this salmon landscape. The bounding coordinates for this SASAP region are: North: 60.9278 degrees South: 56.8716 degrees East: -152.7319 degrees West: -162.2713 degrees

A collaborative project which seeks to provide a holistic, statewide overview of the status and characteristics of Alaska's coupled human-salmon system.
The State of Alaska's Salmon and People Project
The SASAP project is a deep assessment of the state of knowledge of the biological, sociocultural, economic and governance dimensions of Alaska's salmon and the people who depend upon them. The SASAP project shares this knowledge with Alaska salmon users through comprehensive watershed-level summaries (Regions), focused research on specific salmon issues (Topics), and suppported links to SASAP's free, open-source datasets, accessible through the SASAP Data Portal (https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/portals/SASAP/Data).
Southeast Alaska Alaska Panhandle Alaskan Panhandle
Southeast
Approximately the size of the state of Kansas, the Southeast region is categorized by thousands of small coastal watersheds that provide ideal spawning habitat for pink salmon and chum salmon in particular. All five species are caught and return to this region. In terms of total abundance of salmon, Southeast Alaska dominates the state. Managing and conserving salmon populations that move beyond international borders is a key challenge here as many of the Chinook salmon caught in Southeast were hatched outside Alaska. The bounding coordinates for this SASAP region are: North: 61.6887 degrees South: 54.2508 degrees East: -126.7735 degrees West: -143.8874 degrees
