Refuge Plans

Togiak National Wildlife Refuge

 

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.
