The arctic-yukon-kuskokwim tribal research and restoration program (ayktrrp) is designed to achieve restoration efforts by rebuilding salmon populations and bringing relief to the resource-dependent people living in the AYK. Guided by science, we make rapid progress in understanding and recovering from recent salmon declines which inflict extreme stress and hardship on the residents of the AYK. The AYK tribal consortium developed the arctic-yukon-kuskokwim tribal research & restoration program (ayktrrp) to administer grants from the pacific coastal salmon recovery fund (pcsrf) to address critical uncertainties and key factors limiting the productivity of salmon in the AYK region. The AYK sustainable salmon initiative was established in 2002, in response to disastrous salmon declines in the late 1990S and early 2000S.
