9 None that I know of. With the commercial salmon fishing management plans keeping the fishery
restricted and over escaping the rivers I haven’t been in the Kenai River for years because the
management plans restricts us to fishing way South of the Kenai River. Therefore I fish out of
Ninilchik and Kasilof. Plus the fact that the dip net boats are constantly waking the moored
commercial boats is another reason not to go there. I don’t need my boat damaged from dip net
boat wakes plus not being able to sleep on the boat is another reason not to go to the Kenai River.
I started fishing out of the Kenai River for Columbia Wards in the 70s and did so decades. No

10 I believe that the no wake is directed more to protect the dipnetters 5/8/2019 1:06 AM
11 Common sense! It should be no wake for the dip net fishery because they are speeding up and
down the river creating erosion and constant rocking of moored commercial fishing boats and
floating dip net boats. The commercial boats will have some wake but they are going slow and
only transiting while pursuing an occupation for commerce.

16 Gotta have lights 4/26/2019 10:51 PM
17 During Dipnet season it’s a must based on the volume of boats 4/26/2019 10:44 PM
18 The use of the estuary needs to change. Having both subsistence users which are out of control in
with commercial side trying to get in their season which for most is their livelihood and only safe
refuge gets to congestive. No signs or laws will prevent accident. It’s a real recipe for accidents just
with the user groups knowledge and equipment even on roadways you don’t mix heavy equipment
in the down town areas.
4/26/2019 1:18 AM
19 You don't need to over do it, but yes, no wake is important. The biggest issue I have with the dock
is the PU fishery, It jams the dock and literally puts a nylon wall directly across the entire mouth of
the river. This was not the intention of dipnetting.
4/25/2019 10:41 PM
20 More signs will only help if there is adequate enforcement of the rule.4/25/2019 8:02 AM
21 Signs alone are not effective enough without enforcement 4/24/2019 10:34 PM
22 Creates a more courteous launch situation.4/24/2019 10:06 AM
23 The way the currents run in the river mouth it is impossible to not produce a wake while traveling
against the current
4/24/2019 9:27 AM
24 There cannot be no wake zones where power is needed to move against the river or tidal current
as the harbor commission has discussed before. This idea is severely misguided. There needs to
be enforcement of dipnetters who intentionally wake people tied up at docks and on moorings.

like its only making a dangerous situation more explosive.. lack of entry was and will only be the
bottle neck that can make the area somewhat work with what’s going on now but sooner or later
the the mix will lead to more and more casualties. No signs or laws can prevent that. Separation
and limit use or better yet define what is the best use for an estuary. What is best for keeping the
river healthy and is the activity in this confined space going to last?

17 I look at the city’s harbor this way. Imagine an access into the oil refinery for public. The city
controls the access and lets 100 people into the area for every one worker there. The city of Kenai
makes money by allowing these visitors their who say it’s their right to camp and picnic in that
area. How long will this situation last since the gat keeps getting wider and more campers keep
coming. Would signs and laws really do any good. I guess what I’m saying is even at a airport you
have separation between heavy and light aircraft in towns and city’s you have truck routes and
separation from hours to road times. In harbors and on the water the right is given to the under
power less maneuvering craft but in reality they may have the right but what good is the rights
when your being over taken by a bigger vessel? There is sea lanes which was created to say hey
the bigger boats will win. Most harbors deal only with tide and because it’s man made usually
offers protection from wind. The Kenai river dock not only has extreme tide but being its location
deals with high winds plus the ever changing current. The circus I use to watch was years ago at
deep creek with the launching and retrieving of boats off the beach before the tractor launches
now the circus has moved to Kenai - same players - same elements only difference is location.

10 Squeezing the most out of a renewable resources without damaging it is hard work. Making
everybody happy is impossible. Taking steps for the future most the time has less to do with the
present but stable and long lasting. You have to define what is an estuary-what is a harbor-what
does each user group offer-what damage could be to the resources for action taken or planed in
the future-I think another action the city needs to discuss and probably work with is the federal
government since the waterway is in their ownership and possibly can add to or take away what
has been created or is being planned.
