Notes

"The major objectives of the study were to: 1) describe existing salmonid spawning habitat conditions of the Unalakleet River; 2) determine spawning habitat-flow relationships for each salmon species in the wild portion of the Unalakleet River; and, 3) assess the change in available salmon spawning habitat with time and channel maintenance requirements to determine a flow regime that will protect those values for which the river was designated as 'wild'"--Page 3.

"Description of the Study Area: The Unalakleet River is located in the northwestern portion of Alaska. The headwaters originate in the Kaltag Mountains, a section of the Nulato Hills, approximately 105 miles inland, and flow in a southwesterly direction into Norton Sound. The designated 'wild' portion of the river ranges from its headwaters to the confluence with the Chiroskey River. The village of Unalakleet, with a population of approximately 800, is located at the mouth of the Unalakleet River where it flows into Norton Sound"--Page 3.
