The Copper River Delta is a vast wetland located in south-central Alaska, where the Copper River meets the Gulf of Alaska. This area spans approximately 700 square miles and is known for its rich biodiversity, including various species of fish, birds, and mammals. The delta is an important habitat for migratory birds, making it a key stopover point along the Pacific Flyway. The delta's unique ecosystem is shaped by the seasonal flooding of the Copper River, which deposits nutrient-rich sediments. This process supports lush vegetation and diverse wildlife, including the iconic Bald Eagle and the Pacific Salmon. The region is also significant for local indigenous communities, who rely on its resources for subsistence and cultural practices.
