With all due respect and appreciation to the National Park Service, and Lisa Fox: NPS Chief of Communications, for publishing the Katmai Hunt Perspective - and in light of Mr. Stratton's indepth letter to Lisa Fox/NPS, we would repectfully request that the NPS, in an effort to provide more transparency furnish the public with the following: 

• Reports from National Park Service showing the brown bear numbers and location on which they are basing their Hunt Prospectus.

• Disclosure of past and current hunt concession businesses and the harvest numbers and location.

• Provide for a new (more concise - more current) formula to be developed to ascertain bear numbers and migration factors for Katmai/McNeil bears.

• Disclosure of any and all environmental reports: compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), including publication of an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

• The National Park Service should abide by their mandate from Congress regarding the brown bear/grizzly habitat.

Because Katmai is a National Park and Preserve everyone in the USA has a say in what occurs there.  People from around the world who have visited Katmai National Park (bringing tourism dollars to the state of Alaska) - your voice should be heard, too.  Just because the August 15th deadline for public comment has passed, your voice can still be heard!
