This $195,613 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Tribal Wildlife Grants program supports the Sun'Aq Tribe of Kodiak in addressing the invasive signal crayfish problem in the Buskin watershed of Kodiak Island, Alaska. The two-year grant (May 2024 - May 2026) will enable the tribe to continue dedicated eradication efforts, expand environmental DNA monitoring and analysis, conduct mark-recapture studies through a community crayfishing derby, and develop habitat suitability indices to inform population management goals. These activities build upon the tribe's prior research and crayfish removal work funded through other federal grants. The project aims to better understand the impacts of the invasive crayfish on the local ecosystem, particularly the wild salmon stocks that are vital to the subsistence culture and lifestyle of the Sunaq Tribal citizens and the broader Kodiak community.
