Trawling is not #sustainable

Our new report reveals a speculative gold rush run by a network of over 450 Canadian companies. While they reap the rewards of prospecting, downstream communities are stuck with all the risks. Learn more about these Bad Prospects here: us.eia.org/report/bad-pro…

Thank you @lisamurkowski for your leadership 🙏 🐟 @POTUS, Canada’s at least 30 abandoned, operating & developing gold mines along rivers flowing into Alaska threatens all of us downstream - and further imperils our planet’s future. @IJCsharedwaters

Canadian metals mines risk contaminating Southeast Alaska’s rivers, and the White House should withdraw support for them, Sen. Lisa Murkowski said in a letter to President Joe Biden this month. benvgo.com/RMmUPFj

In the federally managed waters off Alaska's coast is a grave injustice: the pollock trawl fleet's prolific bycatch of invaluable species like chum and king salmon, all while Alaskans go without. youtu.be/6y3ouaA8iz8 @Rep_Peltola @NPActionAlaska

EPA chief Michael Regan said he fully supports his agency’s decision to block a proposed gold and copper mine in Alaska’s salmon-rich Bristol Bay, even as the state has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn that action. adn.com/politics/2023/…

"My parents raised their 6 children at fish camp right above our village of Rampart, on the Yukon River. I have very fond memories of being at camp. Multi-generation family members together harvesting salmon." —Brooke Woods

Canadian mining companies threaten to deliver toxic waste right to rivers that feed the wildlife & communities of Southeast Alaska. We're calling on the United States federal government to stand with downstream communities and stop Canadian mine dam failures before it's too late.

@chase_gunnell @SeaTimesOpinion Great letter.

I made much the same argument in the @SeaTimesOpinion section 5 years ago: seattletimes.com/opinion/letter…

“to save wild #salmon, we must reach across the aisle and listen to those who might see and approach challenges differently. Rather than … frivolous lawsuits, we need to build relationships and find common ground.” Nailed it, @SalmonStateAK seattletimes.com/opinion/shutti…

"Trollers, who sustainably catch salmon one at a time on their hook-and-line gear, appreciate why we need healthy salmon and healthy ecosystems; they live and breathe it every day." New opinion piece in @seattletimes from our ED. seattletimes.com/opinion/shutti…

@chase_gunnell Thank you @chase_gunnell !
