Subsistence

The Subsistence Program provides essential subsistence information to tribal citizens and Southeast tribes and provides input and testimony to state and federal agencies regarding any regulatory changes that may affect traditional gathering activities. The program is implemented through the Subsistence & Sustainable Development Coordinator with guidance from the Subsistence Work Group.

Before fishing under the subsistence halibut regulations, fishermen must obtain a Subsistence Halibut Registration Certificate (SHARC). Special permits for community harvest, ceremonial, and educational purposes also are available to qualified Alaska communities and Alaska Native Tribes. Permit holders must comply with SHARC registration and reporting processes.
