In some coastal areas, the land and ocean floor were uplifted, dramatically impacting the productivity of aquatic habitat for decades. For the fishing towns of Cordova and Valdez,thefertile salmon spawning grounds of Prince William Soundall butdried up. But this wasn't the end of the story. The people of Cordova created the Prince William Sound Aqua- culture Corp. (PWSAC). The nonprofit transformed an old cannery at Port San Juan into a prolific wild salmon hatchery. As U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens recalled in the late 1970s, "In desperation, the community of Cordova banded togetherto build a major fish hatchery, which was oneof the greatest community projects [ have subsistencefishing revenue. The hatchery program is a solution ever witnessed in Alaska." endowedto us by early Alaskans to meet the challenges of Alaska's Around the same time, the Alaska Legislature introduced the seafood industries and sustainably provide for the world's Fisheries Rehabilitation, Enhancement, and Development (FRED) strong demand for Alaska wild salmon.

In one major project, ADF&G and industry statewide to improve opportunities for commercial and are studying sport users. genetics, the scope of straying of hatchery-raised salmon, and Shortly after opening the hatchery in 1974, PWSAC recorded population fitness of interacting hatchery and wild salmon. This the largest salmon run of any hatchery in the world. The Alaska project was developed to better help understand our salmon seafood industry was once again working to meet the demands of ecosystem in a way not possible before. Results of this study will chart the global marketplace, as well as support the coastal economies of a newpath for Alaska salmon, and the Alaska hatchery Prince William Sound. program. Research has found that hatcheries present a rare opportunity In 1980, Valdez leaders in fisheries and business founded to supplement our natural resources while limiting impacts Valdez Fisheries Development Association Inc. and built the to the environmentthat supports our fisheries. One of the biggest Solomon Gulch Hatchery in Port Valdez in an effort to support challenges facing Alaska's salmon resource is that we love it too the Valdez economy. The Solomon Gulch Hatchery would later much. It is clear that the demand for Alaska's wild salmon by all become a consistent producer of early-run pink salmon as well as users is greater than what the natural environment coho salmon, extending the common property fishery can support. as well as New solutions and research will be needed to determine how significantly expanding sportfishing opportunities in Valdez. This to sustain these runs as demand continues to increase and the also led to the development of the annual silver salmon derby in environment continues to change.

Innovation and determination are the lifeblood of Alaska, Hatcheries are the solution Alaska's founders intended for as was us etched in history by hardy Alaskans like those survivors of the 1964 to cultivate decades ago, whenfishing politics of the 1970sdiffered earthquake. Thanks to them - along with Ted Stevens and other little from the fish wars waged today. Back then, there was still a visionary leaders in Alaska's fisheries ~ the state's hatcheries play strong desire to work together. When salmon runs collapsed, a a vital role in ensuring the promise to future generations that they, group of individuals representing various user groups joined to too, can enjoyand benefit from healthy salmon stocks. find waysto not only save our wild salmon but help them flourish - To fulfill that promise, we must work together and rely on sound all while remaining dedicated to the environment and the science.
