The comment period to roll back Roadless Rule protections in places like the Tongass National Forest closed last week with 370,000 total comments.

"Judith Ramos is Lingít from Yakutat, where she did research on subsistence as an anthropologist for the Yakutat Tlingit Tribe. She said that both Alaska native and non-native households in the community depend on the forest for food.

“Almost 20% of the households got 75% of their protein from subsistence,” Ramos said. "

These bycatch numbers are from the Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska, however there's an upcoming state water trawl issue to tune into.

This Friday at 8:30 am, a Joint Protocol Committee (JPC) consisting of three North Pacific Fishery Management Council members and three Alaska Board of Fisheries members will meet. This action comes following the March statewide Board meeting. The Board took no action on three trawl related proposals in lieu of meeting under the JPC.

Urge the Board to take action to update management of state trawl fisheries in a manner that provides clarity and transparency: https://salmonstate.org/npfmc

“My name is Matt Randall. I live between Talkeetna and Willow, Alaska, with my family and our 45 dogs.

We are a racing kennel. We do tours as well, to help pay for the kennel. It's very expensive to run. Plus, we love doing it. We love meeting people. We love teaching them about the sport.

The races are a lot of work also. Even if it's just a short 100-mile race, there still is a lot of prep that goes into it. There's a lot of meat that has to be cut into small, snap-sized pieces (for the dogs). We call them fries, like meat fries. They're kind of like steak fries that we cut. We have 5,000 pounds of meat that's going to be coming soon. We cut all that 5,000 pounds of meat into little, tiny steak fry pieces. It's a lot of work just getting the meat cut up and ready.”

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day. At SalmonState we are grateful to live and work in partnership with Alaska's first people and to reside on Indigenous lands throughout Alaska, including Lingít Aaní (Tlingit land, Juneau/Dzantik'i heení); the lands of the Dena’ina (in Anchorage and Homer), the lands of the Sugpiaq/Alutiiq (Homer) and the lands of the Tanana (Fairbanks); and we are grateful for thousands of years of stewardship by Indigenous peoples and partners across Alaska.

🌲🏔️HOT OFF THE PRESS: The Alaska Sustainable Fisheries Trust just published their annual SeaBank Natural Capital Report, highlighting the many ways the lands and waters of the Tongass National Forest, including essential regional arteries like the transboundary Taku, Stikine, and Unuk Rivers, anchor and sustain Southeast Alaska life. The entire SeaBank Report is a treasure trove of compelling information and well worth a read!

Most Alaskans don't know yet, but AIDEA is close to cutting Alaskans out of yet another decision around our public lands.

Right now, the Army Corps has approved its request for "emergency" permitting for a 78.5 mile fragment of a more than 100-mile industrial road across the West Susitna region. Rushing this decision would cut many Alaskans out of the process. The comment period for the industrial road ends Oct. 13.
