[4] 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.

[3] This congregation is especially interesting because emperor geese are typically grouped sparsely and in small numbers during the winter; large gatherings are uncommon.

[5] In order for study to take place, a naval restricted area was established in the northwestern section of the bay as of April 29, 1993.

When taking into account the caloric needs of a killer whale, the study concluded that merely 5.05 attacks would have been required at minimum in order to lower the sea otter population to the documented extent.

[1][7] Among other locations on Adak Island, Kuluk Bay has a relatively substantial history in Pacific War action by the United States during WWII.

One such example is the WWII airfield along Kuluk bay whereupon, in 1942, fighter planes often landed to protect against the possibility of a Japanese offensive.

On August 30, an American Army operation took place in order to build Adak airfield which ran along Kuluk Bay; On September 2, an 11th Air Force escorted reconnaissance mission took place over Kuluk Bay; finally, On September 3, after bombing Kiska Island, the group of 11th Air Force Bombers and Fighters flew to provide air cover over the bay, however 7 aircraft aborted due to inclement weather conditions.

Following the main, six phased investigation of the priority three area, a potential minefield located along Kuluk bay, where six active gun emplacements existed, was searched.

[13] In preparation for the SBX, a US army restricted area within a radius of 1000 yards about the Sea Based radar mooring site was outlined within the bay.

[6][13] This restricted area was proposed in July 2007 by the US Army Corps of engineers in anticipation of potential movement of the SBX into Kuluk Bay per the Missile Defense Agency.

The study also noted that PCB levels were highest in Kuluk bay's sweeper cove, near which contaminants existed with relative proximity.

Recent operations in Kuluk bay are a part of a resurgence in military activity in the Aleutian Islands for the first time in more than 30 years.
