Chuitna - More Than Salmon On The Line Trailer

Just 40 miles across the Cook Inlet from Anchorage lies the Chuitna River, one of the world’s last salmon strongholds that boasts runs of all five species of wild Pacific salmon.

Unfortunately, this unspoiled Alaskan wilderness is slated for destruction because of PacRim Coal’s proposal to develop one of the largest open pit coal mines directly through the salmon rich waters of the Chuitna River.

Chuitna chronicles the journey of conservation-minded fly fishermen who travel to Alaska’s unspoiled Chuitna Watershed to wade waist-deep into its salmon-rich waters and the fight to defeat the proposed Chuitna Coal Mine.

This video has several errors and is misleading to the average joe lower 48 viewer. Errors in conservation videos and other efforts are being latched on to by development proponents and untruthful videos like this one do more harm than good to the conservation cause.

I seriously suggest the author review the basic geography of upper cook inlet. Anchorage is not at the mouth of the Susitna River (or within SFSGR) as shown in the video and the Chuitna River has a road system and is not complete wilderness as put forward in this video. come on people!

Learn the area and the facts or stay out of the fight. There is ignorance on both sides of these issues and shoddy background work does nothing to forward this cause.
