Donate Directly from your Alaska PFD to Protect Cook Inlet

Rather than participating in PCG, which charges a 7% coordination fee, we’re asking you to donate directly from your PFD this year.

Protect What You Love

— Loren Barrett

 

Just one more reminder before the PFDs are released that you will not see Cook Inletkeeper on the list of Pick.Click.Give. (PCG) organizations this year. We’re doing things a bit differently for 2024 to ensure your donations have the greatest possible impact.

Rather than participating in PCG, which charges a 7% coordination fee, we’re asking you to donate directly from your PFD this year. In the past, that fee has redirected over $14,000 away from our efforts to protect Cook Inlet | Tikahtnu. By donating directly, every cent of your contribution will support the vital work you care about.

With your continued support, we will enter our 30th year ready to protect what we love and build a better future for all—whether it’s opposing the Pebble and Donlin Mine projects, protecting Critical Habitat Areas, gathering crucial data on salmon habitats, or fostering sustainable local food systems. We stand by the belief that policies protecting our home should be driven by science, data, and humanity.

If you want to try something different this year, consider making Inletkeeper a part of your regular giving by setting up a monthly recurring donation. Think of it as a subscription – a live-action wilderness channel- that your $5, $10, or $15  dollars a month help to shape and save for generations to come.

A heartfelt thanks from all of us to everyone who gives of their time and energy to protect our watershed. #YouAreInletkeeper

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. The blatant lack of public process, though legal in this particular case, is a clear indicator of what’s to come: an insider game of strong-arming to pressure regulators into rubber stamp permits as quickly as possible.
