Growing Reindeer Herd on St. Michael
Island Is Problem of F&W Biologists
WASHINGTON (Ah—Government
biologists are trying to find out
what to do with a fast-growing
reindeer herd which threatens to
eat itself off its Bering Sea island
home.
The herd, which got its start in
1944 when the Coast Guard put
29 animals on tiny St. Matthew
island as a source of emergency
food, now numbers about 300.
With only a handful of natives
and relatively few predators on
the 44-square-mile island 200
miles off the Alaska coast, the
herd has increased until it has
surpassed the sustained grazing
capacity of its range.
The St. Matthew study, now
under way by two biologists,
marks the Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice’s first step in carrying out its
recently acquired responsibility
over reindeer herds in certain
Alaska areas.
By far the bulk of Alaska’s es
timated 25,000 reindeer, however,
will remain under the Bureau of
Indian Affairs for the exclusive
use and benefit of the native pop
ulation.
The Wildlife Service responsi
bility, carried out by its Bureau
of Sports Fisheries and Wildlife,
will be only over transplanted
herds which have flourished in a
wild state and hove not been in
corporated into the more or less
domesticated animal husbandry
herds maintained by the natives.
In addition to St. Matthew,
where it is hoped the biologists’
report will form the basis for a
management program, the Wild
life Service’s principal rseponsi
bilitv will be on Unmak and Atka
Islands in the Aleutian chain.
