Fisheries

The Environmental Department staff advocates for tribal involvement in local fisheries science and management through traditional knowledge and through emerging technologies such as the use of Environmental DNA (eDNA). Since 2010, the CIA has been monitoring Saak (Hooligan) runs through a mark/recapture study. Since 2014 we have been using eDNA technology in a study that now incorporates 9 rivers. In 2024, Environmental staff started collecting eDNA samples in order to assess King and Sockeye salmon populations.
