The Alaska Department of Fish and Game received funds in 2007 to
establish a unit to oversee state involvement in endangered and
threatened species. This unit coordinates state participation under
federal and state endangered species legislation. This includes
coordinating state comments on proposed listings and on recovery of
listed species.
