Buchanan Salmon Fishing

I am circulating a petition to stop Cook Inlet Aquaculture from digging ME deeper into debt with more loans for worthless, often detrimental projects.

Because the loans CIAA takes out are MY responsibility to repay – yes, they really are a financial burden to me – I need to stop their continuing loan debt. At $20 million dollars IN DEBT, with no viable revenue, they need to be stopped. I’m on a mission to return control to the people who LIVE IN SEWARD and depend on our local salmon.

This organization was a long-standing funnel for federal funds that nose-dived when it needed to stand on its own after losing its prime supporter, Ted Stevens.

In 2010 CIAA asked for 100% of the Resurrection Bay sockeye run and even sought to halt SPORT fishing. From that day forward they have BATTLED local fishermen for OUR resource.

The weir at Bear Creek is mismanaged, the fish are mistreated, the escapement is far too low, and ADF&G has wrongly allowed the entity to have FAR too much control over our local salmon resources. This needs to stop. The Trail Lakes Hatchery is a disaster, destroying more fry than it supplies. Here’s the report.
