Bear Management Plan: 1983, Katmai National Park and Preserve
US National Park Service. 1983. Bear Management Plan: 1983, Katmai National Park and Preserve
Katmai National Monument was established on Sept. 24, 1918. It was subsequently enlarged, and was redesignated Katmai National Park and Preserve by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of December 2, 1980. Several enlargements of the park were for the express purpose of protecting brown bears (Ursus arctos) and their habitat. Katmai provides habitat for the largest unhunted population of Alaskan brown bears in existence.
