In December, outside interest groups nominated the entire Aleutian Island archipelago to become the nation’s largest marine sanctuary. Without local community involvement or support, the proposal to close 545,000 square miles of federal waters off the coast of Alaska was sent to the Administration for consideration. Numerous groups and organizations in the region have shared their opposition for the Aleutian Islands National Marine Sanctuary, saying further protections are unwarranted and would do little to improve the sustainability of the region while significantly harming the economy, livelihood and survivability of the region. I absolutely agree with this opposition and have introduced legislation to push back against these types of actions.
