## Resource

Alaska’s vital water reservation system, designed to protect salmon and stream ecosystems, is facing major changes that could undermine its effectiveness. The Department of Natural Resources proposes letting only itself hold future reservations, shifting the burden of costly data collection and analysis to others — a move critics warn could deter crucial conservation efforts. With hundreds of applications stalled and the agency holding just one reservation, the proposal threatens to stall progress at a time when rivers need protection more than ever. Public input is still open until June 30 — your voice could shape the future of Alaska’s waterways. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
