The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (Department) is developing a spend plan for $1,594,841 recently allocated for the 2022 Yukon River salmon fishery disaster. The State supports an open and transparent process for distributing disaster relief and will work with affected fishery participants and NOAA Fisheries to identify funding priorities and develop the spend plan. The initial public comment period is open now and the Department will host a virtual listening session on March 11, 2024, to receive input on funding priorities from affected fishery participants.
The Department will draft an initial spend plan for this disaster based on input received during the listening session and through comments emailed to: dfg.com.fisheriesdisasters@alaska.gov. Comments must be sent by March 13th, to be considered in the initial draft of the spend plan. Additional opportunities to comment on draft plans will be provided before the spend plan is finalized.
