The Togiak Refuge is a land of
rivers, mountains, and ocean. Most of the public use—both recreational
and subsistence—is centered on three major river drainages:
the Kanektok, the Goodnews, and the Togiak. These rivers provide some
of the best salmon and trout sportfishing in Alaska. Much of the refuge
is designated as the Togiak Wilderness Area, a part of the National
Wilderness Preservation System. In addition, Cape Peirce has been
designated as a wildlife-viewing area for its rare walrus haulouts
and seabird colony.

Comprehensive Conservation Plan
The revision of the Comprehensive Conservation Plan builds
on a series of past plans. The Bristol Bay Regional Management Plan,
the 1987 Togiak Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan, and the
1991 Togiak Refuge Public Use Management Plan were all cooperative plans that included
strong participation from representatives of local communications and the State of Alaska.
The
plan includes an updated comprehensive plan, and a revise Special Land Use Designation for management of State of
Alaska lands in the area.
The Comprehensive Conservation Plan was completed in September 2008 and will guide management of the refuge for the next 15 years. Click on the links below to download copies of the summary or full text of the plan.
