You look at seed catalogs in December. You buy snow blowers in June. You mend nets in August. You prepare for your future guided by your hopes for the future. 

So let’s all brush aside the fog of uncertainty clouding our vision over these last 18 months and prepare for the future we want in Cook Inlet.

After 26 years of working with you and seeing you take action, Cook Inletkeeper can envision a bright future for salmon habitat, renewable energy, local foods and community engagement. 

Our wild Pacific salmon – with cold, clean and intact habitat – will continue to support families and local communities because you helped elect local and state leaders who support salmon-friendly policies and are willing to enforce them.

We’ll have an equitable renewable energy system because you voted for electric co-op directors who commit to making this happen. We’ll see investment flowing into a decarbonized energy infrastructure because this is the only responsible and economically viable thing to do. 

Our food system will be localized and responsive to community needs while regenerating our natural environment. Community food hubs and farmers markets will support local food producers and processors with good paying jobs for more robust economies. 

Your news feeds will be filled with stories and art celebrating the resilience, adaptation and success of our Inlet communities. You’ll see how your conversations with friends and family have taken root in new ways of thinking and doing.

This is the vision that inspires and motivates us to keep working for the future of Cook Inlet.

All these things are within reach if we prepare, take action and work together. The staff and Board of Directors of Cook Inletkeeper are in! Join us!

We need you with us today to protect what we all love and value about this incredible place. Your donation and support helps move us towards the future you want in Cook Inlet. 

With gratitude for your vision,

The “Big, Beautiful Cook Inlet” (BBC1): March Lease Sales Move Forward without New Environmental Reviews

Instead of conducting updated environmental analysis, on the BBC1 lease sale the administration indicated it would rely on reviews completed in 2017 during the first Trump administration. Inletkeeper has joined with community and environmental groups to formally notify Interior Secretary Doug Burgum of their intent to sue if the sale proceeds without required consultation under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Relying on outdated reports disregards nearly a decade worth of analysis on the accelerating impacts of climate change, increased industrial activity, and updated science on species and habitat conditions.

What’s Next for Planned Offshore Lease Sales in Lower Cook Inlet

Last year, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) prematurely scrapped an offshore management plan that protected Alaskan coastal waters from oil and gas leasing. Now, the agency is planning multiple leases for Lower Cook Inlet in their new 5-year plan. It’s vital that we continue to speak up for our coastal ecosystems, sustainable fisheries, and what’s best for our local economies. Learn what happens next.

We can’t risk turning climate pollution into water pollution

Carbon capture has a host of uncertainties upstream of the injection well. But let’s set aside for now the unsolved technological question of how CO2 can be affordably captured at any significant scale. Likewise the economic and political questions of how to price and/or police carbon to make polluters capture it. What concerns do we have about pumping CO2 underground, and the vigilance needed to be sure it doesn’t harm the people and ecosystems above?
