“The concern that we have about the mariculture industry is that there’s no plan for Alaska, America and the world, for that matter. “It’s one of the first regenerative industries based on restoration, conservation and mitigation, rather than extraction of finite resources,” said Lankard, who is Eyak Athabaskan. In the process, the oceans could become more industrialized - and there could be more competition among locals, and with outsiders, for waters off its shores. But Alaska’s nascent kelp industry also shows that growing the infrastructure and market for a new crop is not going to be easy, with everyone involved, including Lesh and Lankard, charting the path as they go along. It’s the kind of reinvention that has to take place if the agriculture industry is to shed its carbon-intensive ways. “There is a new seaweed economy that can be created,” said Dan Lesh, deputy director of the Southeast Conference, a regional business group in Alaska that’s helping distribute tens of millions of federal dollars to help develop the industry. I had a 29 Chinook that fought far harder than the 39. 8' lemon/green crank working fine for me with 25lb fluoro.The green dots are active kelp farm permits in Alaska (Molly O'Halloran For The Washington Post)

You want at least a Loki and associated suitable reel and line. Great fun, I highly recommend trying it for the few quid it costs for a 24 hour pass.īe warned though, your Jigwinner will not cut it.

I have had Chinook to 39 despite not knowing anything about the place, doing what I do irl and having a cast per step working my way downstream.

I didn't go there in search of the unique 70+ Chinook or to discover all its secrets just yet, just wanted to see what it was like having such a large variety of fish willing to take the same type of lure. So much fun just wandering the river with crankbaits catching different types of salmon. So out of curiousity I bought a 24 hour pass for Alaska because I'm only level 30.
