Local subsistence users have expressed concern over the lack of inseason escapement information for Coho Salmon entering the Ugashik Lakes. Escapement monitoring of coho salmon in the Ugashik Commercial Fishing District is from infrequent aerial surveys at the end of the season. The lack of in-season escapement information has lead to concerns of possible over harvest by the sport-fish user group.
