Mary Peltola: “We are only trying to feed our own families. We are down to 20 percent of what we historically harvested.”

We are flying blind without the surveys and the research that NOAA does.

As D.C. price hikes create an energy catastrophe for Alaskans, we can’t afford more delays, political gridlock, or one-size-fits-all rules from the Lower 48 that leave Alaskans without solutions.

We live and die by federal agencies and the federal employees who keep those agencies going.

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