Annual Inventory Report, Study Area 9C and 9E, Northern Alaska Peninsula
Johnson DA, Sellars RA, Trent JN. Annual Inventory Report, Study Area 9C and 9E, Northern Alaska Peninsula
The Northern Alaska Peninsula Caribou herd (NAPCH) ranges from Port Moller northward to the Naknek River drainage. Historically, the size of this population has fluctuated widely; peaks occured just prior to the turn of the century and again in the early 1940's, when the population was estimated at 20,000 caribou. The last population low occured during the late 1940's (i.e. 2,000 caribou). Since that time the herd experienced steady growth until 1984, when the population apparently stablized.
