Alaskans, Tribes, and local businesses spent 12 years shaping the Central Yukon Resource Management Planβ€”balancing wildlife protections, hunting, fishing, recreation, and resource use across 13.3 million acres. Now, Congress is trying to erase it all.

The trawl industry likes to tout its 1% bycatch rate β€” but talking about bycatch of Alaska's largest and most industrial fishery as a percentage understates the issue.

The Tongass National Forest makes billions of dollars for Southeast Alaska each year.
It doesn't make sense to go back to losing taxpayer money destroying what makes the Tongass a place people want to live, work and visit.
