The Southeast Alaska Subsistence Regional Advisory Council will meet March 10–13 at Elizabeth Peratrovich Hall in Juneau to consider proposed changes to federal subsistence fish and shellfish regulations and discuss key issues affecting rural users across the Southeast Region.
The meeting will begin daily at 9:00 a.m. (AKST) and is scheduled to conclude by 11:00 a.m. on March 13. Council members will review proposals that could modify federal subsistence regulations, while also addressing several agenda items that were originally scheduled for the fall 2025 meeting.
The advisory council plays a critical role in shaping federal subsistence policy in Alaska. It provides recommendations to the Federal Subsistence Board on matters involving subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering on federal public lands and waters.
In addition to regulatory proposals, council members are expected to discuss broader subsistence concerns in the Southeast Region, including access, resource sustainability, and community needs.

Officials encourage public engagement as subsistence regulations directly impact rural Alaskans who rely on fish and wildlife resources for food security and cultural traditions.
