Southwest Alaska Habitat Protection Area

Southwest Alaska is home to a diverse and abundant array of fish and wildlife including a rich mix of brown bears, caribou, moose, waterfowl and millions of wild salmon, trout and other fish. 

Fish are the basis for the ecology, economy, and culture. 

Southwest Alaska includes six National Wildlife Refuges in whole or in part, three National Parks and the largest state park in the United States.  They comprise 23.5 million acres

Large tracts of Native Corporation land, State designated critical habitat areas and other federal, state, and local lands complement these conservation areas. 

Commercial fishing, subsistence, sport fishing and hunting, wilderness enjoyment and other recreational activities have flourished for decades.  Subsistence use of fish and wildlife has been a way of life for thousands of years.
