Tenakee Springs is a fishing town

by Tracy Rivera, F/V Good News

Tenakee Springs is a true fishing town.  Our population is just over 100 and there are 10 commercial boats moored in the harbor year round. Salmon trollers, crabbers, shrimpers and longliners. There is also one fishing charter operation in Tenakee.  These 11 boats feed and provide for over 30 people living in Tenakee. Without our pristine wilderness and water shed these fishermen would be out of work.  Please keep the Tongass Roadless.
