Comments: This information was gathered as part of the joint reconnaissance level project between the ADF&G Habitat Division and the Fish Passage Assessment Project on Adak Island. Due to time constraints full site assessments were not conducted, but base line information was collected. This site is the site of an old bridge crossing. It is currently the up extent of anadromy for Airport Creek. The bridge has been removed, but the old bridge foundations have collapsed and created a fish passage barrier. Adult pinks were observed directly below the barrier, but none were seen above.
