Description:

Abstract:

The report assesses the subsistence harvest of Steller sea lions, northern fur seals, and reindeer between 1999-2009 on St. Paul Island, Alaska. The residents of St. Paul Island harvest, hunt, and gather a wide variety of resources for subsistence use. The most prevalent harvests are of marine and land mammals. Subsistence hunters also harvest halibut and other fish, marine invertebrates, migratory birds, bird eggs, plants, and berries.

Purpose:

Document, characterize, and quantify local harvest practices and changes thereto in order to better understand the relationship between Bering Sea communities and the Bering Sea ecosystem. Information to be collected are: 1. Subsistence Harvest and Use Information a. Harvest quantities in numbers of animals b. Harvest locations c. Harvest seasons

Supplemental_Information:

The data used to estimate the northern fur seal, reindeer, and Steller sea lion harvests on St. Paul Island is gathered through a combination of voluntary hunter participation, reporting requirements, and active communication with hunters by ECO staff via method termed "real-time harvest monitoirng".
