This report presents subsistence harvest estimates of migratory birds and their eggs in Alaska for the data year 2010. Data were gathered through the harvest assessment program of the Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council. This program relies on collaboration among the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and a number of regional Alaska Native organizations. Information obtained by this program is used to evaluate federal subsistence harvest regulations, to document customary and traditional uses of migratory birds in Alaska, and to plan for the continued harvest and conservation of birds. In 2010, the harvest survey was conducted in 5 regions: Gulf of Alaska-Cook Inlet, Kodiak Archipelago, Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Bering Strait-Norton Sound, and Interior Alaska.
