Coho salmon are an important subsistence resource for residents of the Native Village og Perryville. Recent returns to local streams (Kametolook, Three Starm, and Long Beach rivers) have declined and cannot support subsistence needs of the village. This project was implemented to assess the quantity and quality of freshwater habitats used fot spawning and rearing by coho salmon in streams near Perryville, and to use these data to conduct a limited habitat analysis.
