Hi Dan,
I am submitting another proposal to study Olga lakes sockeye salmon.This one,for the
Alaska Sea Grant,is in conjunction with UAF professors Peter Westley and Anne
Beaudreau.
The gist of the project is to measure the growth on archived sockeye salmon scales and
compare that to rearing habitat and climate,This would enable us to assess if
freshwater or marine growth affects survival across age groups. Part of the project is to
have a graduate student present this data and explain the results to stakeholders and
the interested public. Models would also be generated that would address how
different rearing habitat conditions,including fertilization,might affect production.
Kodiak Regional Aquaculture Assoc.(KRAA)will be a cooperator on this project.
From my previous request for a letter of support for the OSM proposal,I think we are
both well aware of the importance of Olga lakes sockeye salmon to the community of
Akhiok and the need for understanding the decline in returns and the Impact of any
manipulations to the system.This project will provide new information for addressing
those declines:would the KIB Assembly be able to provide a letter of support to
include with the sea Grant proposal that will be submitted on May 1,2015?
Attached is the pre-proposal that got us invited to submit a full proposal and below is a
link to the Sea Grant strategic plan website(we are focusing on Goal 3).

Dear Ms. Finkle,
The Kodiak Island Borough Assembly appreciates the opportunity to support your proposal to
the Alaska Sea Grant for studying the linkages among South Olga lakes sockeye salmon,their
habitat and climate.This project's outreach component will also allow ADF&G and UAF to
educate and develop collaborative relationships with multiple stakeholders.
Numerous Alitak Bay District fishermen and Akhok residents have expressed concern over
declining returns of sockeye salmon to Olga and Moser bays at Regional Advisory Council and
Kodiak Regional Planning Team meetings.These declines have made it harder for Akhiok
residents to meet their subsistence needs and maintain the traditional lifestyle of the Alutiiq
people. Similarly,Alitak Bay District commercial fishermen have also struggled to maintain their
livelihoods from what was once a lucrative fishery.
To date,very limited study of South Olga lakes sockeye salmon has occurred since the M/V
Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989.The data collected from this project are very valuable because
they will provide new information for understanding how South Olga lakes sockeye salmon
respond to habitat and climatic changes,enabling better management of the stocks and thus
helping to ensure fishing opportunities for Akhlok residents and Alitak fishermen.The outreach
component of the project is equally valuable for providing stakeholders the opportunity to better
understand the effects of any rehabilitation efforts to the South Olga lakes,allowing them to plan
for their future.
The Kodiak Island Borough Assembly is pleased to support your project because it serves to
achieve sustainable fisheries resources for the benefit of Kodiak and its users.
Sincerely,
KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
Jerrol Friend, Mayor
