Join Us Today

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.

Fund Our Future

Protect Lower Cook Inlet

The Federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has proposed Oil & Gas Lease Sale 258 for over 1 million acres within the rich and productive waters of Lower Cook Inlet.

Join the call for the cancellation of Lease Sale 258 and having the Cook Inlet Planning Area permanently withdrawn from future oil & gas lease plans in Alaska.

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.

Drawdown: Climate Solutions Series

We launched the Drawdown Climate Action Series to help our communities identify meaningful and well researched solutions that don’t just stabilize levels of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, but that actually draw emissions back down to sustainable levels.

We had a great time at Belugapalooza, celebrating our Cook Inlet belugas, hearing stories from people of all ages about our belugas, and learning about how to advocate for them (thinking about the poop in the Inlet from Anchorage’s sewage treatment facility!). Thank you all who helped plan this event and to all attendees who shared their love for our Cook Inlet belugas 🐋

Meaningful Community Action: Let’s Get to Work!

Working together, Alaskans are a powerful force for positive change in our communities. Let’s roll up our sleeves and put local solutions into action! We’ve all seen what happens when outsiders come in and do things without meaningful input from locals: We get cookie cutter houses built for Florida winters where all the roofs shed […]
