Since 2015, TTCD-coordinated pike derbies in Tyonek and Beluga have removed 266 pike from local systems. In 2017, TTCD will hold a pike derby in May to continue these control efforts. This year TTCD will also partner with Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association for focused pike netting efforts in June.
With the first snow of the season now settled on the ground, TTCD has wrapped up its final day of field work for 2025 and is transitioning to winter activities. Lessons on ecology and conservation at the Tebughna School are being taught weekly, the hydroponics towers at the school are flourishing and being harvested from for school lunches, and the Tyonek Gather program continues to deliver locally grown Alaska food to Tyonek households – which still includes salmon caught by Tyonek fishermen!
