Message:

*The Federal Subsistence Board (FSB) recently made a number of fish and game rulings in Alaska, including closing of Kodiak Is. waters to all King crab harvests except those for subsistence.

*The Kodiak closure was made at the request of ADF&G in order to allow King crab populations to continue to recover from years of over fishing.

*The FSB also banned nonsubsistence caribou hunting on federal lands on the north side of the Alaska Peninsula near King Salmon and Naknek. The decision is intended to protect the north Alaska Peninsula caribou herd.

*The Board also adjusted moose hunting in the Kuskokwim River drainage and the lynx trapping in the southcentral and eastern interior.

*Historically, travelers through anothers (clan) territory could kill for food, but not for pelt or profit.
