	Kodiak Archipelago Bear Conservation and Management Plan
		Although Kodiak bears are recognized as a valuable resource to the community, they are also sometimes viewed as competitors and predators by cattlemen and commercial fishermen; as nuisances to anglers and deer hunters; and as potential threats to human life.
		The best available scientific information indicates that, although the Kodiak bear population is being sustained at a healthy level, human pressures on the bears and their habitat have increased in the last 100 years throughout the Kodiak archipelago.
		Kodiak bears live throughout most of the Kodiak archipelago and use virtually all available habitats from the coast to alpine regions.

		Kodiak bears, which often feed on salmon, can weigh more than 700 kg (1700 lb).
		Depending on habitat, the average weight of grizzlies varies from 150 to 360 kg (330 to 794 lb) in Alaska and British Columbia, 95 to 139 kg (209 to 306 lb) in the Yukon Territory, and 102 to 324 kg (224 to 714 lb) in Yellowstone National Park.

		Kodiak Archipelago One of the remnant sea otter colonies in southwest Alaska is thought to have occurred at the northern end of the Kodiak archipelago (Figure 4D of the Proposed Rule), near Shuyak Island.
		The method used was identical to that of the 2001 aerial survey of the Kodiak archipelago, which includes a correction factor for sea otters not detected by the observer (Bodkin and Udevitz 1999).
		The population trend in the Aleutian archipelago, which constitutes approximately 30 percent of the available habitat within the range of the DPS, is a cause for concern: The continuation of the current trends could lead to the loss of all of the otters in that area in the foreseeable future.

	Kodiak Bear Management Plan -- Public Process
		Kodiak bears, the largest bears in the world, are a unique subspecies of the brown or grizzly bear, having been isolated from other bears for some 12,000 years.
		The total population is estimated at 2,800-3,000 independent bears, with the average density estimated at 265 per 1000 square kilometers on Kodiak Island and 142 per 1,000 square kilometers on the northern islands of the archipelago.
		Concern over a reduction in the Kodiak brown bear population in the early decades of the last century prompted sportsmen to petition the federal government to protect the bears and their habitat.

		Sitka Black-tailed deer were introduced to the Kodiak Archipelago from three separate populations of deer in Southeast Alaska.
		Compared with most big game specie introductions, the 25 Sitka deer to Kodiak seems at least sufficient in numbers, and the animals came from three geographically separated populations which would lead one to believe that the opportunity for genetic diversity was at least better than average.
		Reports and samples from throughout the Kodiak Archipelago indicate that this condition is widespread and has been here for many years, but with vastly different concentrations from one area to the next.

	High school student paper: Tanner Crabs
		When prevailing winds near the Kodiak Archipelago blow from the west, water is pushed southeast, and crab larvae are pushed with the water offshore, where they have little or no chance for survival.
		One example of Kodiak's former dependence on crab fisheries is the Kodiak Crab Festival held in May. This is Kodiak's equivalent of a harvest festival.
		Although Tanner crab populations are being impacted by a myriad of pressures in the waters near the Kodiak Archipelago, it is reasonable to believe that the stock is not beyond recovery.
