The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) will be issuing roughly $2 million in
grants to qualified research projects in the Cook Inlet that address research themes related to
the Alaska Chinook Salmon Fishery Disaster that was declared by the Secretary of Commerce
on September 31, 2012.

This fishery disaster is based on the very low Chinook salmon returns in 2010, 2011 and 2012
which resulted in a Chinook salmon harvest that was 90 percent below the recent 5-year
average. Exact causes for recent poor Chinook salmon returns are unknown, but may involve a
variety of factors outside the control of fishery managers to mitigate including unfavorable ocean
conditions, freshwater environmental factors, disease, or other likely factors on which data are
limited or nonexistent.

The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) is requesting proposals for a
survey research project that collects information to estimate the economic value of
saltwater sport fishing trips in Alaska, in order to understand the factors that affect
participation in, and demand for, these trips by Alaska resident anglers (i.e., anglers, or
recreational fishermen, who live and fish in Alaska) and non-resident anglers (i.e.,
anglers who live outside of Alaska but who fish in the state). The survey will collect
stated and revealed preference information to allow estimation of recreational fishing
demand and to assist in understanding angler preferences for different types of fishing
opportunities.
