Chickaloon Flats: A Hidden Gem on the Kenai ...

Within sight of almost half of all Alaskans lies a little known tidal estuary.  Perched along Turnagain Arm on the northwestern Kenai Peninsula, the 27,000-acre Chickaloon Flats is the only part of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge that touches marine waters.  It represents 7% of the total estuarine area in Cook Inlet and Prince William Sound, the two water bodies that form the peninsula. As such, it’s a small but important part of the Pacific Flyway for migratory shorebirds and waterfowl.

Advocacy in Action: Preventing sport hunting in Alaska's National Preserves

Now that NPS has reversed their stance against predator control, it will be legal to shoot brown bears over piles of doughnuts and grease; to shine artificial lights into dens to kill hibernating black bears and their cubs; to shoot wolves and coyotes, and their pups, during the denning season when their pelts are in generally poor condition; and taking swimming caribou using motorboats. Our lawsuit aims to stop that.

AWA Member in Action: "New Trump wildlife rule will hurt Alaska tourism"

“There is nothing courageous or sporting about these methods, nothing even closely resembling fair chase. These methods are not the Alaska way. And we’ve said as much: A 2018 opinion poll showed that an overwhelming majority of Alaskans support existing wildlife protection and public safety policies on Alaska refuges and preserves.”

BREAKING: Hunting regulations rolled back across Alaska's National parklands and refuges

BREAKING: Hunting regulations rolled back across Alaska's National parklands and refuges

DOI just announced that it is legal to kill bears and cubs while they hibernate, caribou while they’re swimming, wolves and coyotes while they’re denning, and bait bears over grease-soaked donuts in Alaska’s national parks, preserves, and refuges.
