Alaska Timber Harvest and Fish Habitat

  • Chapter
Freshwaters of Alaska

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 119))

Abstract

Fishing and timber harvest are major industries in Alaska. If not carefully planned and conducted, timber harvest and associated road construction may adversely affect anadromous fish habitat, which has sometimes brought these industries into conflict.
