Kuluk Bay (original) (raw)
Kuluk Bay also known as Khulukh Bay is a small bay located at 51°52′30″N 176°33′47″W / 51.87500°N 176.56306°W on the northeastern side of Adak Island, one of the larger Andreanof Islands of the Aleutian Islands. The bay is significant for its ecology, role in the Second World War, and various examples of contemporary military and administrative action regarding the bay. Kuluk Bay borders the most developed portion of Adak Island; on its western coast lie the industrial and residential areas of the settlement of Adak. Kuluk Bay is also important for recreation on Adak Island, since beach combing and other beach activities are common on its sandy western shore.

| dbo:abstract | Kuluk Bay also known as Khulukh Bay is a small bay located at 51°52′30″N 176°33′47″W / 51.87500°N 176.56306°W on the northeastern side of Adak Island, one of the larger Andreanof Islands of the Aleutian Islands. The bay is significant for its ecology, role in the Second World War, and various examples of contemporary military and administrative action regarding the bay. Kuluk Bay borders the most developed portion of Adak Island; on its western coast lie the industrial and residential areas of the settlement of Adak. Kuluk Bay is also important for recreation on Adak Island, since beach combing and other beach activities are common on its sandy western shore. Adak's coastline is characterized by steep downward slopes which continue well offshore; leading to extreme depth increase in Sweeper Cove and Kuluk bay with distance from the shoreline. In Adak, ground water is not typically used as a source of drinking water. Among other reasons, ground water may not be used because it is believed that Adak island's fresh ground water overlies saltwater which enters the aquifer from the adjacent depths of Kuluk bay and Sweeper Cove. Fishing, for a variety of species, is another common activity in Kuluk Bay. During August and September, pink salmon runs occur in streams flowing into the bay. The bay also contains extensive mussel beds along the coast at low tide, although these do not appear to have been tremendously exploited as a food source. Tests on blue mussels from Kuluk Bay have found a significant amount of arsenic contamination, and rock soles in the bay have been found to contain hazardous amounts of PCBs (particularly Aroclor 1254). Subsistence fishermen and others have therefore been advised to restrict their consumption of them. (en) |
