Alaska sport fish regulation boundaries as defined by Alaska administrative code. Regions define the five major regions that are then broken down into 27 sub regions of which some are broken down into smaller units<\/SPAN><\/P>

The Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) is responsible for managing fish and game under statutory authority from the Alaska Legislature. By law, the mission of the Department of Fish and Game is to protect, maintain, and improve the fish, game, and aquatic plant resources of the state, and manage their use and development in the best interest of the economy and the well-being of the people of the state, consistent with the sustained yield principle. <\/SPAN><\/P>

The Division of Sport Fish is one of five divisions in the department. By law, the mission of the Division of Sport Fish is to protect and improve the state\u2019s recreational fisheries resources. Division of Sport Fish operations are largely funded by anglers and recreational boaters through contributions to Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration and Fish and Game funds. At least 15 percent of the state\u2019s federal aid apportionment must be used for improvement of recreational boating facilities and access.<\/SPAN><\/P>

ADF&G may change fishing regulations at any time by emergency order. <\/SPAN><\/P>

Statewide, over 50 emergency orders may be issued to open or close seasons or areas, modify bag limits and methods and means in any given year. Most, but not all, affect salmon fishing, as opposed to fishing for resident species. Emergency orders may also be posted at key access points. All emergency orders are widely announced via news media, and are accessible on recorded ADF&G hotlines, at ADF&G offices, and online at: Sport Fish at: www.adfg.alaska.gov/<\/SPAN><\/P>
