More smoke and mirrors from the State of Alaska and British Columbia

3/3/2021

1 Comment

 
Last week the State of Alaska and the Province of British Columbia released their final report on the B.C.-Alaska Transboundary Rivers Monitoring Program, after just two years of sampling, claiming “extraordinary partnership” across the border and conclusion of the program.

Alaska and B.C.’s characterization of their monitoring efforts dramatically underestimates the current situation. They fail to address the future risks associated with large-scale industrial mining in the B.C. headwaters of these crucial shared salmon rivers, yet they are trying to control the conversation to suggest “everything is fine” while undermining the concerns of Tribes, commercial fishermen, and thousands of Alaskans.
​
Take Action:
​​Tell the Biden Administration
​We Need Tribal and Federal Leadership
​to Protect Our International Salmon Rivers
Now, more than ever, we need an international framework with Tribal and Federal leadership and community engagement to determine the future of these iconic watersheds -- just as thousands of Alaskans, Tribes, commercial fishermen, municipalities, and the Alaska congressional delegation have requested for years.

​​SOUTHEAST ALASKANS RESPOND TO RELEASE OF AK - BC REPORT, HIGHLIGHT NEED FOR TRIBAL AND FEDERAL LEADERSHIP TO PROTECT INTERNATIONAL SALMON RIVERS
