Every year, millions of migrating wild salmon are killed in commercial fisheries in Alaska.

 

Fisheries in Alaska are scooping up salmon from B.C., Washington and Oregon before they reach their home rivers to spawn. Meanwhile, B.C.'s salmon and steelhead have hit record lows, southern resident killer whales are going hungry and commercial fisheries are closing. First Nations are not meeting their food needs, and hard-working families are losing the opportunity to bring a salmon home for dinner. 

There's an easy solution—Alaska needs to move its dirty interception fisheries away from migration corridors, to inside waters where Alaskans can still catch their own fish.

Give our wild salmon a chance. Stop the Alaskan plunder.
