Davey LubinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Spanning five decades, I have been making my living on and around the marine waters of Alaska.
Davey LubinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I've worked as a biologist on foreign fishing trawlers in the Bering Sea, commercial fishermen throughout the Gulf of Alaska and inside waters of Southeast Alaska, a botanist, natural history teacher, and as a marine charter owner-operator in the Sitka area, where I specialize in wilderness and wildlife excursions, scientific research logistics, and marine debris cleaning operations.
Davey LubinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
and I am a dyed-in-the-wool, subsistence hunter, fisher, and gatherer.
Davey LubinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In my daily life, I am continuously reminded that Sitka Sound remains one of the rare places on Earth where a healthy marine ecosystem can still be fully experienced.
Davey LubinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
These marvels and this abundance are nothing short of magnificent and clearly the result of decades of disciplined choices to manage our local fisheries conservatively and to protect the waters that sustain our communities.

Jonathan ThompsonGUEST
But what that means is that now that this is being rolled back, those state plans will stay intact.
Tom HessCORRESPONDENT
What impacts are we looking at with this change? I know when I was working in Southeast Alaska, this came up all the time as it related to timber.
Tom HessCORRESPONDENT
Is this an industry thing, a recreation thing? What is the big change that we would see from a rollback of this rule?
Jonathan ThompsonGUEST
What that would mean is if industry wanted to log something or if they wanted to build a new road to log something, then potentially that could now happen.

Scott HarrisHOST
Here she explains the positive difference the Roadless Rule made, and how indigenous people are now fighting to save it.
Wanda CulpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Southeast Alaska villages, the village areas, the small communities h- were attacked, so our hunting and fishing grounds were literally clear-cut, and there was no prior notice that this was gonna happen.
Wanda CulpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
When it started in Hoonah, one of my grandmothers had...
Wanda CulpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Her and her husband had, was coming down from, um, the mountain, and saw the first clear-cuts, and she was crying, touching her heart and saying, "See what they're doing to us?" And she repeated it again, "Do you see what they're doing to us?" And that's how, how I became aware of the fact that nobody knew what was going on.
Scott HarrisHOST
So, so what did you, and working with other people, what, what did you do to get the Roadless Rule in place?
