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.

Laurel

My daughter works at the end of the Homer Spit* at Land’s End Resort. It is part of the community of Homer, which is also where my sister lives. Thought I’d share a view of them from the air.

*(A spit or sandspit is a deposition bar or beach landform off coasts or lake shores. It develops in places where re-entrance occurs, such as at a cove's headlands, by the process of longshore drift by longshore currents.)

Good. About time. Actually, way past time.

Hopefully there is a plan to battle the misinformation and confusion deliberately cause by the ads which big oil spends millions on to defeat these types of efforts. I feel like if you ask the average person what should be done they would say repeal.... But the ads trick you into voting yes or no in the interest of big oil. I wonder if most people actually know how they were voting?

Senator Bill Wielechowski thank you 🙏🏼
