MSB Fish and Wildlife Commission

The MSB Fish and Wildlife Commission, formerly the Mayor's Blue Ribbon Sportsmen's Committee, was formed in February 2007 to represent the interests of the Borough in the conservation and allocation of fish, wildlife and habitat.

The commission advises the MSB Assembly and the State of Alaska Boards of Fish and Game regarding fish and wildlife practices and policies that affect the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.

The commission consists of eight representatives from the following segments of the community:

• Two representative from the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Assembly
• One sport fishing representative
• One hunting representative
• Four at-large positions

Board of Fisheries Information

The FWC has five proposals before the Alaska Board of Fisheries (BOF) for consideration at their February 7-19 Upper Cook Inlet Finfish meeting at the Egan Center in Anchorage.  These proposals are designed to return more salmon to MSB waters.  Please take a look at these proposals (downloadable via the links to the right) and consider submitting a comment to the BOF (deadline for public comments to BOF = 1/23/2020) or, better yet, come to the meeting and testify.  For more information, please go to the BOF Website.

UPDATE: The FWC had a very successful BOF experience. A summary of the BOF decisions will be forthcoming.
