Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association

The Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association (CIAA) is a non-profit organization based in Kenai, Alaska, that works to create sustainable salmon stocks in the Cook Inlet area.Initially the Alaska Department of Fish and Game ran most hatchery programs in Alaska, but as commercial fishermen began to see the benefits of such programs and began their own organizations in the 1970s and 1980s, ADF&G gradually phased itself out and co-ordinated efforts with privately run hatchery organizations like CIAA, one of eight regional aquaculture associations in Alaska.By 2001 CIAA was able to release 85 million salmon fry in a single year.It is estimated that 20–30% of commercially caught salmon in this region were spawned at CIAA hatcheries.However, the victim believed the bear was actually after berries and was simply startled by the boy's sudden arrival.
