Book Description
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game interdivisional escapement goal review committee reviewed Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. escapement goals for Southeast Alaska in 2017. As of 2016, escapement goals were established for 12 Chinook, 14 sockeye, 14 coho, 4 pink, and 8 chum salmon stocks. The Southeast escapement goal review committee recommended changes to escapement goals to the directors of the divisions of Commercial Fisheries and Sport Fish as follows: (1, 2, 3) replace escapement goal ranges for Chickamin, Blossom, and Keta river Chinook salmon, which are expressed in index survey counts, with ranges expressed as total escapement; (4) eliminate the Klukshu (Alsek) River Chinook salmon goal; (5) eliminate the combined East Alsek-Doame river sockeye salmon biological escapement goal (13,000-26,000 fish) and replace it with a sustainable escapement goal (range 9,000-24,000 fish) germane only to the East Alsek River; (6) eliminate the Lost River sockeye salmon goal; (7) eliminate the Alsek River sockeye salmon goal (8); change the Berners River coho salmon biological escapement goal from 4,000-9,200 fish to 3,600-8,100 fish; (9) change the Tsiu-Tsivat river coho salmon goal from a biological escapement goal to a sustainable escapement goal while maintaining the same goal of 10,000-29,000 fish; (10) eliminate the Ford Arm Creek coho salmon goal; (11) eliminate the Situk River pink salmon goal; and (12) change the aggregate Northern Southeast Inside summer-run chum salmon lower bound sustainable escapement goal from 119,000 to 107,000 fish. As a result of these recommendations, a total of 47 Southeast Alaska escapement goals would be established for 11 Chinook, 12 sockeye, 13 coho, 3 pink, and 8 chum salmon stocks.

Book Description
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game interdivisional escapement goal review committee reviewed Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. escapement goals for Southeast Alaska in August of 2019 and again early in 2020. Escapement goals were reviewed based on the Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (5 AAC 39.222) and the Policy for Statewide Escapement Goals (5 AAC 39.223) adopted by the Alaska Board of Fisheries into regulation in 2001. There is a total of 47 escapement goals in Southeast Alaska for 11 Chinook, 12 sockeye, 13 coho, 3 pink, and 8 chum salmon stocks. The Southeast escapement goal review committee recommended changes to these goals to the directors of the Divisions of Commercial Fisheries and Sport Fish as follows: (1) change the Taku River sockeye salmon sustainable escapement goal range of 71,000–80,000 fish (based on a historical dataset) to a biological escapement goal range of 40,000–75,000 fish based on a revised dataset; and (2) change the Situk River coho salmon biological escapement goal range of 3,300–9,800 fish to a sustainable escapement goal range of 3,800–9,600 fish based on percentiles of historical survey counts. Detailed analyses of Chilkoot, Speel, and Redoubt Lakes sockeye salmon escapement goals are also documented here, although the committee did not recommend changes to those goals.

Book Description
This report summarizes statewide Pacific salmon escapement goals in effect in 2017 and documents escapements for all species and stocks with goals from 2009 through 2017. Annual escapements are compared against escapement goals in place at the time to assess outcomes, with summaries by the Division of Commercial Fisheries regions. We list methods used to enumerate escapements and to develop current escapement goals (with brief descriptions) for each monitored stock. Escapement goals were reviewed for Upper Cook Inlet, Lower Cook Inlet, and Kodiak management areas leading up to the 2016/2017 Board of Fisheries meeting cycle. As a result of these reviews, there were 53 escapement goal changes in 2017, including the elimination of 2 goals, establishment of 2 new goals, and the replacement of the Kenai River early- and late-run Chinook salmon goals based on all fish with escapement goals based on large fish only. In addition, two Optimal Escapement Goals were removed from management plans by the Alaska Board of Fisheries. In 2017, 83% of the escapement goals were met or exceeded and 17% of the stocks did not meet minimum escapement goals.

This report summarizes statewide Pacific salmon escapement goals in effect in 2018 and documents escapements for all species and stocks with goals from 2010 through 2018. Annual escapements are compared against escapement goals in place at the time to assess outcomes, with summaries by the Division of Commercial Fisheries regions. We list methods used to enumerate escapements and to develop current escapement goals (with brief descriptions) for each monitored stock. Escapement goals were reviewed for the Southeast Region and Prince William Sound Management Area leading up to the 2017–2018 Board of Fisheries meeting cycle. As a result of these reviews, there were 34 escapement goal changes in 2018, including the elimination of 5 goals and the establishment of 1 new goal to replace another goal. The remaining changes were a result of updates to escapement indices and/or goal development methods. In 2018, 67% of the escapement goals were met or exceeded and 33% of the stocks did not meet minimum escapement goals.

Book Description
This report summarizes statewide Pacific salmon escapement goals in effect in 2022 and documents escapements for all species and stocks with goals from 2014 through 2022. Annual escapements are compared against escapement goals in place at the time to assess outcomes, with summaries by the Division of Commercial Fisheries regions. We list methods used to enumerate escapements and to develop current escapement goals (with brief descriptions) for each monitored stock. For the 2021–2022 Alaska Board of Fisheries meeting cycle, escapement goals were reviewed for the Southeast Region and Prince William Sound Management Area, which had been postponed from the 2020–2021 meeting cycle because of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of these reviews, there were 7 escapement goal changes for 2022. In the Southeast Region, 2 escapement goals were updated (1 coho and 1 sockeye salmon), and in Prince William Sound, 4 escapement goals were updated (2 coho and 2 sockeye salmon) and the Copper River Chinook salmon escapement goal was revised from a lower-bound SEG to an SEG with an upper and lower bound. The number of salmon escapement goals in Alaska remained at 264. In 2022, 67% of the escapement goals in Alaska were met or exceeded and 33% of the stocks did not meet minimum escapement goals.

Book Description
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game interdivisional escapement goal review committee reviewed Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. escapement goals for Southeast Alaska in 2014. As specified in the Pacific Salmon Treaty, escapement goal recommendations for transboundary Alsek and Klukshu river Chinook and sockeye salmon runs underwent bilateral U.S./Canada review, and recommended changes were adopted by the Transboundary River Panel of the Pacific Salmon Commission in 2013. Thus, as of 2013, escapement goals were established for 12 Chinook, 14 sockeye, 14 coho, 4 pink, and 8 chum salmon stocks. The Southeast escapement goal review committee recommended to the directors of the divisions of Commercial Fisheries and Sport Fish that all but 5 of those escapement goals remain unchanged. The committee recommended (1) changing the Speel Lake sockeye salmon goal from a biological escapement goal range of 4,00-13,000 fish to a sustainable escapement goal range of 4,000-9,000 fish; (2) changing the Lost River coho salmon goal from a lower-bound sustainable escapement goal of 2,200 fish to a sustainable escapement goal range of 1,400-4,200 fish, and changing the name of the goal to Tawah Creek (Lost River); (3-4) increasing aggregate lower-bound sustainable escapement goals for summer-run chum salmon in the Southern Southeast and Northern Southeast Outside subregions to account for the addition of new index streams to those stock groups; and, finally, (5) changing the Chilkat River fall-run chum salmon sustainable escapement goal range of 75,000-170,000 fish to a range of 75,000-250,000 fish.

Book Description
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) interdivisional escapement goal review committee (committee) reviewed 41 escapement goals for Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. stocks in Lower Cook Inlet (LCI). Escapement goals were reviewed based on the Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (5 AAC 39.222) and the Policy for Statewide Salmon Escapement Goals (5 AAC 39.223) adopted by the Alaska Board of Fisheries into regulation in 2001. All of the existing goals were adopted in 2017, except for 1 chum salmon O. keta stock (McNeil River, adopted 2007) and 2 sockeye salmon O. nerka stocks (Bear and English Bay Lakes, adopted 2001). Except for 2 Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha stocks (Anchor and Ninilchik Rivers) and 4 sockeye salmon stocks (English Bay, Bear, Mikfik, and Chenik Lakes), salmon escapements in LCI are primarily monitored by single or multiple aerial and/or foot surveys of appropriate stream reaches. The resulting escapement indices do not provide absolute abundance estimates suitable for estimating biological escapement goals (BEG). Consequently, all LCI goals are sustainable escapement goals (SEG). There are no escapement goals for coho salmon O. kisutch in LCI. To improve management flexibility and consistency between management areas in Alaska, the committee supported LCI transitioning from stock-specific SEGs for pink (O. gorbuscha, 18 stocks) and chum (12 stocks) salmon to aggregate escapement goals for each of the 3 LCI districts with commercial fisheries targeting these species (Southern, Outer, and Kamishak). ADF&G will continue managing LCI Chinook (3 stocks) and sockeye (8 stocks) salmon using stock-specific SEGs, with 2 Chinook (Anchor and Ninilchik Rivers) and 2 sockeye salmon (Bear and English Bay Lakes) goals changing during this review period.

Book Description
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game interdivisional escapement goal review committee reviewed Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. escapement goals for the major river systems in Bristol Bay. There were 13 escapement goals reviewed in the Bristol Bay management area for this review. The committee evaluated spawner-return data for all Bristol Bay sockeye salmon O. nerka and Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha stocks with escapement goals. For this escapement goal review, the committee recommends that all sockeye salmon escapement goals in the Bristol Bay management area remain the same. After the development of a run reconstruction model recommended at the last cycle, the committee also recommends no change to the Nushagak River Chinook salmon escapement goal for this cycle and that a run reconstruction-based escapement goal be considered during the next Board of Fisheries cycle.

Book Description
This report is a summary of escapement goal reviews and recommendations for major salmon stocks of the Upper Copper River and Prince William Sound Management Areas. Escapement goals were reviewed based on the Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (5 AAC 39.222) and the Policy for Statewide Salmon Escapement Goals (5 AAC 39.223) adopted by the Alaska Board of Fisheries into regulation in 2001. The escapement goal committee reviewed 29 existing escapement goals, including 1 Chinook Oncorhynchus tshawytscha , 5 chum O. keta , 2 coho O. kisutch, 16 pink O. gorbuscha (8 goals for each even- and odd-year brood line), and 5 sockeye O. nerka salmon stocks. The escapement goal committee also reviewed escapement data for Gulkana River Chinook salmon, but decided not to consider establishing an escapement goal until a sufficient time series of data are available to better understand how well the current tower count project indexes escapement. All of the existing goals were adopted in 2002, 2005, 2008, or 2011 except for the 2 coho salmon goals that were adopted in 1991. The escapement goal committee recommends all Chinook, chum, and pink salmon escapement goals be updated. The escapement goal committee recommends no modifications be made to the existing coho and sockeye salmon escapement goals, and that no goals are eliminated or created at this time.
