The Federal Subsistence Board has given Delegated Authority to the Federal Inseason Fishery manager to manage subsistence fishing for salmon in all Federal Public waters of the Yukon Area.

The Federal manager and a team of assessment and management biologists work together with State of Alaska managers, Office of Subsistence Management staff, Regional Advisory Councils, USFWS Refuge managers, Tribal Governments and other stakeholder groups to manage salmon.

The Alaska National Interest Land Conservation Act, Pacific Salmon Treaty, Court Orders, State and Federal regulations, Yukon Salmon Act, and the Yukon Salmon Agreement with Canada are primary drivers of USFWS salmon conservation and management activities in Alaska.
