SalmonState

We are an Alaska-based organization working to ensure Alaska remains the Salmon State: the last, best place for wild salmon and the ways of life they make possible. We work with fishermen, Tribes, Native corporations and Tribal entities, lawmakers, scientists, professionals, and Alaskans across the political spectrum. In the last few years we’ve been a part of the successful work to defend Bristol Bay from the proposed Pebble Mine; keep Southeast Alaska’s rainforest ecosystem and wild salmon streams working for Alaskan hunters, fishermen, and communities; and finalize protections for 28 million acres of D1 Alaska lands, ensuring they will remain intact and healthy for the communities, businesses, Alaskans, and Tribes who use them for hunting, fishing, gathering, and more. Follow our page and check out “Fishery Injustice,” our 3-minute video highlighting the work to stop the 141 million annual pounds of marine life bycaught and dumped by the trawl fleet operating off Alaska’s coast, which a recent poll shows is supported by ⅔ of Alaskans: https://youtu.be/6y3ouaA8iz8 Sign up for weekly updates and to get involved in stopping wasteful trawl bycatch; defending the transboundary wild salmon rivers flowing from Canada into Southeast Alaska from more than 100 acid-producing mines proposed, abandoned, being explored or operating just over the border; and generally keeping Alaska a place where wild salmon and the people connected to them continue to thrive. https://salmonstate.org/email-updates
