Greetings

Welcome to Redzone, the virtual home of Alaska’s wild salmon, the Kings, Reds and Silvers, fished and protected for over 3,500 years by the Eyak people of the Copper River Delta. Our still intact ecosystem, with its salmon returning annually to spawn in their millions, is home to eagle, bear, beaver, moose and 16 million migratory shorebirds and waterfowl.

Our mission is to preserve and protect the Delta and Prince William Sound watersheds so that the salmon will continue to return to their birthplace and nurture the wildlife for which they are the cornerstone species. And, also, so that the community of fishermen in Cordova and the region will flourish, for the circle is one: bioregional conservation means local economic sustainability. This is a model for the planet. Please use this site to investigate and propagate that vision.  Learn more

Feature: “The Day the Water Died”

A 30 minute Sierra Club film about the Exxon Valdez oil spill in the Prince William Sound.

Mid-June, 2008: "The punitive damages award against Exxon was excessive as a matter of maritime law," wrote Justice David Souter for the majority in the case, Exxon Shipping Co. v. Baker. "The award should be limited to an amount equal to compensatory damages."

These words and this gross misjudgment slashed the hopes of the people of Prince William Sound, proved it’s OK for wealthy corporations to desecrate a thriving ecosystem, and forever destroyed our trust in this Supreme Court to protect our way of life.

Now, the judgment comes to about $15,000 to each plaintiff. That is, each plaintiff that is still alive. After 14 years of legal battle with the largest most profitable corporation on Earth, 20% of the plaintiffs have died. And, taxes have to be paid on this “income.”
Read Dune’s Exxon statement that he made in June right after the judgment.
