Dangerous Lease Sale 258 in Heart of Cook Inlet
In the Environmental Impact Statement for Lease Sale 149 in 1997, the federal government estimated a 72% chance of a large spill.
Alaska is already reeling from the effects of climate change, and we have to break the Big Oil stranglehold if we want to keep the things that make Alaska unique.

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.

Introducing 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.

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.
Protecting Alaska’s Cook Inlet watershed
and the life it sustains since 1995.
