Abstract: The 2014 Kuskokwim Area Management Report is an annual volume reporting on management activities in the Kuskokwim River and Bay, as well as regulation changes by the Alaska Board of Fisheries in March 2014. The report emphasizes a descriptive account of the information, decisions, and rationale used to manage the Kuskokwim River and Bay subsistence and commercial salmon (Chinook Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, chum O. keta, sockeye O. nerka, and coho O. kisutch) and Pacific herring Clupea pallasii fisheries. All information deemed necessary to fully explain the rationale behind management decisions in 2014 are included. All narrative and data tabulations in this volume are combined in 4 sections: salmon, subsistence, herring, and miscellaneous fisheries, to aid in the use of the document as a reference source. The extensive set of tables has been updated to record previously unlisted data for easy reference. Fisheries data in this report supersedes information in previous reports.
