Transboundary news to share!
It’s been a long time coming and we are happy to report that the Alaska delegation including Governor Bill Walker, Lt. Governor Byron Mallott, Senators Lisa Murkowski, Dan Sullivan and Congressman Don Young issued a joint letter to the U.S. Department of State requesting that the US Federal Government get involved in an international solution to threats posed by transboundary mining between Canada’s British Columbia and Southeast Alaska.
This call to the U.S. Department of State by Alaska’s elected officials is a major step towards reaching binding agreements between the two governments to help protect our rivers and vital salmon habitat.
