Sportfish Management Areas


Southeast Region Management Areas

Southeast Alaska covers an area about 500 miles in length from the U.S./Canada border just below Prince of Wales Island north to Yakutat and to Cape Suckling. Southeast or the "panhandle" as it is known in Alaska, is noted for its fjords, mountains, maritime climate, old growth forests, glaciers, and fishing! Southeast includes over 1,000 islands strung just offshore from the mainland. The Tongass National Forest and the icy Glacier Bay National Park are just two of the federally designated areas that are found in this area of islands and rugged mountains.

There are seven management areas in this region, each with area offices. See each Area's Contact page for details.

More information for each area is provided through the links below.
