The National Park Service initiated a task agreement in 2002 and 2003 with the University of Washington School of Marine Affairs (UW-SMA) against their cooperative agreement with the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (PNW CESU). The task agreement outlined two distinct projects carried out cooperatively by the UW-SMA, PNW CESU, and GBNPP: 10 develop and conduct a creel survey of the Glacier Bay region's charter and private sportfishery; 2) develop and test a mail and phone survey to collect recreational angler catch information for Glacier Bay proper. This document focuses on the creel survey (Project 1).
