Vision, Goals and Objectives

Vision:  The Southwest Alaska Salmon Habitat Partnership (Partnership) envisions naturally sustainable fish and wildlife populations, in all their biodiversity, thereby perpetually supporting compatible human uses throughout Southwest Alaska. 

Goal:  The goal of the Partnership, working through partners, is to sustain healthy fish and wildlife populations and thereby perpetuate the cultural, economic, recreational, social, and aesthetic uses they support through voluntary habitat conservation throughout Southwest Alaska.

Objectives: 

  • Conserve riparian habitats in drainages supporting anadromous and resident fish.
     

  • Strengthen local communities by perpetuating fish, wildlife, and compatible human uses.
     

  • Support historic uses of fish and wildlife through habitat conservation.

  • Restore and enhance riparian habitat and associated uplands on public and private lands.
     

  • Improve habitat management on publicly and privately owned riparian habitat and associated uplands through the use of cooperative management agreements and voluntary incentive programs.
     

  • Reduce land management conflicts through habitat conservation.
     

  •  Identify, prioritize, and conserve important habitat.
     

  • Support monitoring and evaluation of existing restoration projects, as well as pertinent research studies, to improve future restoration projects.

  • Ensure traditional access points remain available to the public
     

  • Strengthen existing and promote new funding sources for habitat conservation.
     

  •  Encourage cooperation between the Partnership’s partners and other regional initiatives that have the potential for habitat conservation.
