Book excerpt: This report summarizes statewide Pacific salmon escapement goals in effect in 2021 and documents escapements for all species and stocks with goals from 2013 through 2021. Annual escapements are compared against escapement goals in place at the time to assess outcomes, with summaries by the Division of Commercial Fisheries regions. We list methods used to enumerate escapements and to develop current escapement goals (with brief descriptions) for each monitored stock. Leading up to the 2020–2021 Alaska Board of Fisheries meeting cycle, escapement goals were reviewed for the Southeast Region and Prince William Sound Management Area. However, the Alaska Board of Fisheries area regulatory meetings were postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, none of the recommended escapement goal changes for the Southeast Region or Prince William Sound Management Area were implemented in 2021, and the number of salmon escapement goals in Alaska remained at 264. In 2021, 70% of the escapement goals were met or exceeded and 30% of the stocks did not meet minimum escapement goals.
