Alaska Subsistence Management is run by Department of the Interior. From fiscal 2021 to 2025 it awarded $14.8 million in 68 grants, about $217,615 per award.

## Objectives

To identify and provide information needed to sustain subsistence fisheries and wildlife management on Federal public lands, for rural Alaskans, through a multidisciplinary, collaborative program. Two programs are administered under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) to fulfill this objective. The Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program (Monitoring Program) funds approximately 40 studies annually to provide information on stock status and trends, harvests, and traditional ecological knowledge to manage and regulate Federal subsistence fisheries. The Partners for Fisheries Monitoring Program (Partners Program) strengthens Alaska Native and rural involvement in subsistence fisheries management and research. The program provides funds directly to Alaska Native and rural organizations to hire fishery biologists, social scientists, and educators with the intent of increasing the organizations ability to participate in Federal Subsistence Management.
