This means the biologist, social scientist, outreach coordinator, or educator must engage in activities with direct association to a Federal subsistence fishery. Federal subsistence fisheries occur in waters within and adjacent to Federal public lands in Alaska (National Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, National Parks and Preserves, National Conservation Areas, National Wild and Scenic River Systems, National Petroleum Reserves, and National Recreation Areas).Please reach out for programmatic technical assistance if you need help in identifying fisheries under Federal management or Federal Public lands.

What the grant funds
