The Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council was formed in 2000. It consists of the US Fish & Wildlife Service, the Alaska Department of Fish & Game, and representatives from the Alaska Native population. The Alaska Migratory Bird Regional Council's (AMBCC) primary purpose is to conserve migratory birds through development of recommendations for the subsistence spring/summer harvest in Alaska.

The AMBCC is split up by region, with AITRC overseeing the AMBCC's Copper River Migratory Birds Co-Management Council (CRMBCC). CRMBCC activities include setting and adjusting, as necessary, annual spring and summer subsistence bird hunting regulations in the Ahtna Territory (GMU 11, 12, 13).
