Clean Water, Healthy Salmon: Protecting Instream Flows Matters More Than Ever
The Alaska Department of Natural Resources is currently considering changes to the state’s instream flow reservation regulations that will make it increasingly difficult to reserve water for fish. At a time when climate change is putting increasing pressure on Alaska’s salmon streams, we should be reducing barriers to protecting water—not creating new ones.

Homer Drawdown is a community-led, grassroots organization working to sequester carbon, reduce emissions, and ultimately fight the climate crisis that affects us all.
