Purpose
TWA will work with the Taku River Tlingit First Nation to build community support for ratifying a long-term conservation vision that will help secure the watershed’s valuable salmon resources. Additionally, TWA will conduct education and outreach to government officials and other important stakeholders in order to build support for protecting the Taku watershed from threats posed by the Tulsequah Chief mine and the associated road project. There are two primary outcomes for this project: 1) the Tulsequah Chief mine and associated road are mitigated to maintain salmon ecosystem integrity; and 2) a comprehensive Land Use plan for the Taku River Watershed is ratified.
