Yukon Management Area Educational Fishing Permit for Customary and Traditional Harvest of Salmon
(5AAC 93.212)
The State of Alaska subsequently adopted the Yukon Management Area Educational Fishing Permit for the Customary and Traditional Harvest of Salmon (5 AAC 93.212). This regulation allows for the limited harvest of salmon, including Chinook salmon, for the purpose of teaching and preserving traditional cultural practices, as well as for ceremonial, funerary, and memorial purposes. Alaska Tribes were not consulted on the agreement and have no involvement in the permitting process or management of these permits which are administered by ADF&G.
