Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game interdivisional escapement goal review committee reviewed Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. escapement goals for the major river systems in Upper Cook Inlet. Escapement goals were reviewed for 21 Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha, 1 chum salmon O. keta, 4 coho salmon O. kisutch, and 9 sockeye O. nerka salmon stocks. The committee recommended to the Divisions of Commercial Fisheries and Sport Fish directors changes to 2 Chinook salmon goals (early- and late- run Kenai River), 1 chum salmon goal (Clearwater Creek), and 4 sockeye salmon goals (Chelatna, Judd, and Larson lakes and Fish Creek). The committee also recommended creating 1 Chinook salmon (Little Susitna River; weir-based goal) and 1 coho salmon (Deshka River) escapement goal.
