AMBCC Proposal Form

Proposed Change for 2028 Alaska Subsistence Spring/Summer Migratory Bird Harvest Regulations

All proposals received by the AMBCC office will be sent to the affected regional management body for their consideration and recommendation.

Recommendations will be forwarded to the statewide body for consideration and action. To ensure success of your proposal, please plan on attending your local regional management body meeting to present data or information on your proposal. Proposals received without adequate information may be deferred or rejected.

Regarding Current State-Wide Issues:

For information regarding Current State-Wide Issues, please contact AMBCC Executive Director or Native Caucus Chair.

Notice Sick or Dying Wild Birds? Contact Us:

Rural subsistence users would likely be the first to notice sick or dying wild birds, so please help our bird disease monitoring effort by calling toll-free: 1-866-5BRDFLU (1-866-527-3358).

Be prepared to report the location, species of birds involved, and date and time found. Again, for your safety, do not handle any sick birds or those found dead.

State-Wide Public Meetings

Attend our public meetings to be be in-the-know of regulatory & non-regulatory matters.

  • The annual statewide Spring meeting allows Council members the opportunity to consider and take action on any proposed migratory bird regulatory proposals that have been submitted during the open proposal period (November 1-December 15 annually). 

    Other business during this meeting may include the sharing of time-sensitive information relevant to the upcoming spring-summer harvest season for that year.

  • The annual statewide Fall meeting focuses on sharing new information and environmental observations from the Native Caucus, hearing technical reports on migratory bird research from the partner organizations, discussing any ideas for new regulations or amendments to existing regulations, and learning the latest results from the summer aerial and ground-based population surveys.
