| Abstract: | The North Gulf Coast sport fish management area consists of all fresh and salt waters between Gore Point and Cape Puget. This management area is further divided into Resurrection Bay proper (all waters north of a line between Cape Resurrection and Aialik Cape) and all waters outside Resurrection Bay from Gore Point to Cape Puget (Figure 1). The city of Seward is the only community in the management area. Tourism, including a growing sport fish charter industry, is vital to the economy of Seward. Access to area sport fisheries is by road, rail, air, and boat. Except for a few road-accessible streams, lakes, and Seward beaches, most sport fisheries in the Resurrection Bay Management Area are relatively remote and require a boat or plane to access. Principal land managers include private individuals, the City of Seward, U.S. National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Native corporations, and the State of Alaska. |
