PROJECT DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE:
The proposed aquatic farm is located about 24.7 nautical miles south-southwest of Wrangell near Rocky Bay, a small bay
near the mouth of Mosman Inlet on Etolin Island in southeastern Alaska. Upland facilities and support structures are located
on National Forest Service lands adjacent to the farm site. Access to the site is by skiff from the adjacent uplands.
Equipment and gear storage will be located on the permitted uplands or in Ketchikan. (Attachments 1-2)
The aquatic farm site is composed of three separate parcels located on state-owned tidal and submerged lands, totaling about
4.07 acres. Parcels include a 292 ft x 546 ft (3.66 acres) growing area for subtidal suspended culture of Pacific oysters using
raft and cage systems (Parcel 1), a 60 ft x 154 ft (0.21 acre) intertidal hardening and defouling area (Parcel 2), and a 46 ft x
190 ft (0.20 acre) dock and storage area (Parcel 3). (Attachments 3 - 5)
Parcel 1 will include eight (8) 16 ft by 20 ft oyster grow out rafts. Each grow out raft will have 20 cross pieces, or
fingers, measuring 2 ft by 8 ft secured along the length of the raft to be used for hanging between 100 and 300 Aquamesh
cages stacked 10-high. Each cage measures 22 inches wide by 22 inches long by 6 inches deep, manufactured of 1 inch
by 1 inch PVC coated wire mesh. To hold smaller spat, the cages require a smaller mesh Vexar liner inserted on the
bottom. The 6 ft stacks of cages would hang 8 ft under the water’s surface. In addition, in the southwestern portion of the
parcel, a 40 ft x 40 ft processing float with one 16 ft x 16 ft work shed, a covered area, and two 20 ft x 4 ft work
platforms on each side will be used to accommodate oyster grow-out rafts during processing. The anchor system for all
rafts would consist of floating anchor lines from each corner secured using 300 lb concrete anchors in water 60 ft deep.
All rafts are constructed of untreated local wood with floatation made of closed cell (extruded) expanded polystyrene.
(Attachments 6 – 10)
Parcel 2 will be used for hardening and defouling of Pacific oysters, using Aquamesh trays measuring 22 inches wide by
22 inches long by 6 inches deep (Attachment 11).

C. PROJECT LOCATION
1. Legal Description
Please provide latitude and longitude coordinates for each corner of each parcel at the proposed farm site.
Separate parcels must be identified. For example, Parcel 1- growing area, Parcel 2 - hardening area, etc. Start with
the northeast corner of each separate parcel identified as Corner Number 1. Next, identify the remaining corners
in a clockwise direction. Latitude and longitude coordinates must be in NAD83 datum using degrees and
decimal minutes format to the nearest .001 minute (Example: Longitude -133° 17.345), obtained using a
Global Positioning System (GPS). ADF&G can provide a handheld GPS unit, with a $100 security fee. Contact
the Juneau ADF&G office at (907) 465-6150 for details.
