For members and friends of Sitka Seafood Market who track policies and legislation that affect the wild Alaska waterways, we think you’ll appreciate this thoughtful editorial from our co-founders, Nic Mink and Marsh Skeele, “Protecting Alaska's Tongass National Forest Benefits Midwesterners.”
Recently, the presidential administration rolled back protections for the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska, a move that threatens the ecosystem that supports production of wild salmon and our small-boat fishermen’s livelihoods. Nic and Marsh sum up the impact that a healthy habitat has on the Sitka community, jobs creation there and in the Midwest, and the quality of the salmon we deliver to our members.
