AWRA Alaska Meeting Tuesday
Evening Event
A "Fish First" Future for Alaska: Balancing Energy and Fish through Low Impact Hydropower Development in AlaskaTuesday / April 26th Cost: Free Join us for an evening session on Tuesday, April 26th, for salmon appetizers and a robust discussion about the importance of striking a balance between fisheries and energy needs for Alaska's future. This session will be sponsored by AWRA, Trout Unlimited, Wild Salmon Center, The Susitna River Coalition and the Alaska Section, AWRA. Alaska is a state defined by its fisheries. Salmon are the crown jewel of Alaska and thrive due to vast reaches of unaltered water resources and pristine habitat. Hydropower also plays an important role in Alaska's past and energy future. Projects throughout Alaska demonstrate that hydropower and fisheries can coexist. Panelists will represent different sectors of the conversation around fisheries conservation and hydropower development to help inform a discussion about hydropower and fisheries policy in Alaska. There is no cost for this event.
