The original DIPAC hatchery was established at Kowee Creek on Douglas Island in 1976. Kowee Creek Hatchery is a small facility built over one of Joe Juneau’s original gold mining adits. The hatchery was originally used to incubate up to 10 million pink and/or chum salmon, but is currently being used as a research facility by the University of Alaska.
