Stuart Island is home to an unmanaged herd of reindeer put there as part of the Stebbins/St.

Stuart Island collects a significant amount of driftwood, due to its location North and East of the Upper Yukon River Delta.

Spring runoff brings trees and logs down the Yukon River that, after reaching the Bering Sea, are pushed by wind and tides into Norton Sound.

Stuart Island is directly in the path of the driftwood pushed into the Sound, and its west-facing beaches provide a traditional firewood supply for residents of Stebbins.
