In 2025, Cook Inletkeeper will celebrate 30 years of advocacy and action. As we enter this landmark year emboldened by what we have preserved and in full knowledge that there is a long road ahead to continue to protect the places we hold most dear, we’re reminded that protecting special places like Cook Inlet | Tikahtnu takes determination, bold campaigns, and the power of community. Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve raised $62,077 so far—but we need your help to reach our $100,000 goal to support our critical 2025 programming.

Beluga Protection in Tuxedni Bay

Tuxedni Bay is an essential piece of habitat to ensure the continued survival of this iconic species. The Cook Inlet Beluga habitat is beleaguered with threats from underwater noise from oil and gas development, reductions in critical prey availability, and pollution. NMFS has a duty to ensure the highest levels of accountability for proposed industrial development and to implement swift measures to ensure protection and recovery of this endangered species.
