1-minute narrative
Hello, my name is [Name], I live in [Town/District]. I’m [writing/calling] to vote YES on the Prince William Sound Wild Salmon Protection Act. The bill sets enforceable limits on hatchery salmon straying into wild salmon streams so we protect wild salmon genetics and sustained yield for the people of Alaska and our future generations. Thank you.
Science-Based
“I support this Act because it sets science-based pHOS limits and requires annual genetic monitoring to protect the long-term genetic diversity of wild salmon.”
Subsistence Traditions
“I support this Act because wild salmon are essential to Alaska Native culture, subsistence traditions, and identity. The bill respects this by prioritizing conservation in streams of cultural and ecological importance.”
Habitat & Ecosystem Focus
“I support this Act because wild salmon feed the broader ecosystem—from bears to eagles to forests. Protecting their genetic resilience ensures that Prince William Sound ecosystems remain healthy for generations.”
2-3 minute narrative
Hello, my name is [Name], I live in [Town/District]. I’m [writing/calling] to vote YES on the Prince William Sound Wild Salmon Protection Act. The bill protects wild salmon by (1) limiting hatchery-origin spawning salmon in natural streams, (2) requiring transparent, annual reporting, and (3) enforcing compliance with graduated penalties and permit suspensions when necessary. I value sustained yield and Alaska’s wild salmon heritage. [Add any brief personal tie: fishing, Prince William Sound recreation, or simply enjoying and appreciating wild Alaskan salmon!]. Thank you.
The Sustained Yield Advocate
“I support this Act because Alaska’s Constitution requires sustained yield of natural resources. Without enforceable limits on hatchery strays, wild salmon runs are at risk, and this bill closes that gap.”
Fishing Economy
“I support this Act because the stability of Alaska’s commercial fishing industry depends on resilient wild stocks. Enforcing pHOS limits and transparent reporting gives fishers confidence that the wild resource is being protected.”
The Future Generations Promise
“I support this Act because it ensures that my children and grandchildren will inherit strong, diverse, and resilient wild salmon runs in Prince William Sound.”
