NEW Freshwater Temperature Action Plan

The new Action Plan identifies the highest priority actions for the next 10 years that will lead to greater protection of Alaska’s fish and wild salmon habitat from the impacts of thermal change. The keys to success will be continued collaboration and coordination among data collectors and to engage resource managers, who need to understand changing thermal patterns and the implications for freshwater resources to address our fisheries crisis.

Fast Tracking Johnson Tract

The Department of Interior and National Park Service canceled a public comment period on their draft resource analysis assessing a proposed easement for the haul road and port facility. The mine would use this infrastructure to transport ore through Lake Clark National Park & Preserve to Tuxedni Bay, where a deep water port would be constructed and the ore shipped out for processing.
