Are we able to comprehend the wealth of the earth and its life even roughly, or even understand? How responisble do we deal with the life on the planet in form of plants, animals and humans? For countless species the possibilities of living, especially in our seas and rivers, are miscellaneous and wonderful

Particulary the authentic nature, the icy sea of the northern pacific and the wide range of bifurcations of the cold, clear, and especially clean rivers of Alaska, are the prerequisites for this eternal for thousands of years persisting life circle of the wild salmon. It seems almost a miracle when they come back to their birth place every year at the same time to visit the spawning grounds high up in the wild river courses of Alaska.

Alaskas comprehensive approach to a sustainable fishing-managment includes major efforts to protect marine habitats by limiting partially or totally fishing and other human activities in certain key-areas. Alaska declared thousands of square-meter-miles to marine reserves.
