Copper River Migratory Birds Co-Management Council

The Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council (AMBCC) 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 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). In addition, AITRC now hosts the AMBCC Executive Director, further strengthening our role in the co-management of migratory bird resources in Alaska.
