The examination of existing subsistence use and regulations (p. 2 ) 2. The characterization of subsistence use in Alaska (p. 3. The implementation of statutory language (p. 4. The inclusion of subsistence concerns in management plans (p. 12 ) 5. The use of specific procedures to analyze subsistence (p. 13 ) The paper suggests that the Boards have the authority to determine what is customary and traditional use on an area-by-area, case-by-case basis and to adopt appropriate regulations accordingly.
