Thu, 27 Jul 2006 23:02:00 -0400

Juneau - The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) today unveiled the Alaska Coastal Wildlife Viewing Trail, enhancing and highlighting wildlife viewing opportunities along Southeast Alaska’s Marine Highway routes and coastal communities.
Highway-based wildlife viewing and birding trails combine Americans’ love of wildlife viewing and travel, while easing the complications of trip planning. This is Alaska’s first viewing trail, and America’s first marine-based trail; thirty-two other states have trail projects completed or underway.
“We are excited to be launching the Alaska Coastal Wildlife Viewing Trail today. We know that this project will not only increase the enjoyment and viewing opportunities for those traveling the Inside Passage, it provides promising economic opportunities for local communities,” said McKie Campbell, ADF&G Commissioner. “Presenting opportunities and information about wildlife viewing is an important part of the department’s mission to provide for a wide range of public uses and benefits.”
