If we preclude Alaskans from being able to harvest Chinook, that means we’re precluding them from harvesting just about everything during the summer.

Our fight is not against small and mid-size boats that keep communities like Kodiak strong. It’s against the out of state corporate greed that leads to wanton waste and damage to our sea floor.

Our construction windows are so short in Alaska. They’re like nowhere else. Developing in the Arctic is so unique.

We are being priced out of petroleum, and we’re being priced out of our lives in Alaska, because of the war in Iran.
