Together, we are centering our solutions to the climate crisis in the desire to reduce further harm to our ecosystems, avoid more suffering for Alaskans, and build resilient local economies and just communities for future generations. Our climate solutions for the watershed include increasing access to renewable energy, supporting carbon-reducing community actions, protecting cold-water refugia for salmon resiliency and building a strong local food economy.


Protect Lower Cook Inlet
There is a lot of noise right now about oil and gas lease sales in federal waters of Cook Inlet, ignore the noise and join us in asking to permanently withdraw Cook Inlet from ALL future offshore oil and gas lease sales.
Together we can move towards a vision of the future that keeps oil and gas drilling rigs out of Lower Cook Inlet. Protecting our communities, our fisheries, our wildlife, and our Inlet.

Our salmon are stressed
We've been monitoring stream temperatures across the Cook Inlet watershed since 2002. It is clear that salmon are already experiencing thermal stress and that, over the next 50 years, more streams will get warmer more often.

Alaska Food Hub
95% of Alaska’s food is currently imported. Purchasing local food supports local farms, increases our region’s food security, protects the environment, creates jobs and boosts the local economy.

Salmonfest Radio
An hour of fish, fun, and music that will bring the spirit of our annual salmon celebration to you. Salmonfest Radio is a bi weekly, podcast and radio show that will feature music recorded at Salmonfest, band interviews, and explorations into local salmon issues with salmon champions from around Alaska.

Inletkeeper Presents: Climate ActionKit
Over the past several years, Inletkeeper organizers and volunteers led a Drawdown "book-to-action" series that gathered people together to think critically and act effectively on climate change.
We’ve used this experience to build our NEW Climate ActionKit, which takes Project Drawdown’s groundbreaking solution analysis as the center of a model for gathering your community around climate action.

How much risk are we willing to accept?
It took less than 13 years for oil from Prudhoe Bay, traveling down the new Trans-Alaska Pipeline, to smother the coast and the life it sustained in Prince William Sound and beyond.
