A big thank you again to everyone who supported our efforts to save the Snow River! We are so grateful for all of your support and action!
Peninsula Rivers Conservancy was formed and exists because we looked at the many issues affecting our waterways and wild fish populations and we realized that the groups battling these issues are spread thin. We hope that our efforts can help take pressure off of other organizations and bring awareness to causes that need our attention and action.
Currently, we are part of a collective effort to bring real change to existing laws that would put projects like the Snow River Dam through a more rigorous permitting process, one that focuses on salmon and salmon habitat. The Stand For Salmon Campaign is working to update title 16 to:
1) Define a healthy river
2) Promote responsible development
3) Ensure that rivers receive salmon protection
4) Give Alaskans a voice
STAND FOR SALMON: "The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is responsible for approving development projects that could impact salmon habitat in our streams and rivers. However, there are currently no clear rules in place limiting the amount of damage allowed to wild salmon habitat during a development project. A simple update to an old law that has not been updated since statehood is needed to limit damage to salmon habitat so that our wild salmon runs remain strong for future generations."
