Pacific Salmon Ecosystems
Alaska's vast reaches of lakes, streams and rivers arguably represent the most intact freshwater systems on Earth. The yearly migration of chrome-bright cohos, Chinook, sockeyes, pinks and chums fills rivers with life, feeding everything along the way -- from aquatic insects to giant brown bears and families who rely on the yearly catch.

• Bristol Bay (Southwest Alaska)  An exquisite, unroaded landscape of interwoven waters reaching across 12,000 square miles that is home to the largest wild sockeye run on Earth.
• Matanuska-Susitna Basin  The headwaters of the basin include some of the wildest lands in the entire country, the lower watersheds of the basin comprise one of the fastest growing regions in Alaska.
• Tongass (Southeast Alaska)  The largest intact temperate rainforest remaining in the world is also one of the world's largest salmon nurseries.
  

North Pacific Marine
With more miles of coastline than the rest of the U.S. combined, Alaska's saltwater and estuary habitats support fish, wildlife and coastal communities.

• Rat Island Seabird Restoration  The most ambitious island habitat restoration project ever undertaken in the Northern Hemisphere. 

Climate Change and Alaska's Arctic
Alaska is on the frontline of global climate change. And with the United States' only Arctic species, Alaska's adaptation strategies are a priority for the nation.
