Book excerpt: This document compiles annual subsistence harvest estimates for birds and their eggs in Alaska for the data years 2004-2017 produced by the Harvest Assessment Program of the Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council (AMBCC-HAP). The AMBCC-HAP relies on collaboration among the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and diverse regional and local Alaska Native organizations. Information obtained by the AMBCC-HAP is used to inform harvest management, to document customary and traditional uses of migratory birds in Alaska, and to plan for the continued harvest and conservation of birds. Participation of communities and households in the harvest survey is voluntary. The survey covers spring, summer, and fall harvests in most regions. Harvest estimates are based on a stratified, multistage sample of communities and households. The sampling frame encompasses all households in regions eligible for the subsistence harvest of migratory birds and their eggs in Alaska. Harvests reported by surveyed households and communities are extrapolated to nonsurveyed households and communities in the same region, which correspond to the designated migratory bird management regions.
