Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Kenai Watershed Forum, located on the Kenai Peninsula of Southcentral Alaska, will identify ongoing and emerging critical water quality issues, determine high-priority challenges at the community level, and provide a roadmap for future management solutions.
The Kenai Watershed is uniquely productive of multiple salmon species, Arctic lamprey, Dolly Varden, and hooligan or eulachon. The watershed supports commercial, recreational, personal use, and subsistence fisheries.
Much of the watershed is federally managed, and oil and gas extraction occurs within the watershed. Watershed health and resilience concerns include development in the riparian zone, climate change impacts, aquatic invasive species, and intensive recreational use.
The forum has identified decline in return of adult salmon to the watershed for spawning; decline in mean body size of adult salmon; and increased levels of zinc, copper, fecal coliform, and petroleum-associated compounds in the watershed.
The forum will analyze a 20-year baseline water quality dataset and develop a plan to mitigate water quality concerns in the watershed.
