Habitat Resiliency

"

Alaskans are witnessing the effects of a changing climate in real-time, with houses in the bush already sinking into the permafrost. For the sake of our future (and our fish) we have to do something.

That Means:

Tackling key issues like...

Fighting for legislation and initiatives that protect our environment and world.

Supporting comprehensive legislation to reduce emissions.

Investing in Alaska’s renewable energy to make our communities more self-sustainable.

That's Why:

Mary has done just that...

Mary secured the largest investment in a renewable energy grid in American history – taking a big step toward a cleaner, stronger energy future, with more jobs and lower costs for Alaskans.

Mary worked tirelessly to achieve a major milestone in pro-fish policymaking securing a ban on predatory foreign trawlers poaching our fish, discarding millions of pounds of bycatch, and destroying our ecosystems.

Mary cosponsored the Sustaining America’s Fisheries for the Future Act of 2022 to increase the adaptive capacity of fishery management to the impacts of climate change, implement working waterfront plans, establish an innovation prize for data collection technology used in fisheries management, and establish a national standardized reporting program for bycatch.



Mary cosponsored the Don Young Restoration Grants for Coastlines and Fisheries Act of 2023 to establish a grant program for projects that restore marine, estuarine, coastal, or Great Lake habitats, or provide adaptation to climate change. 

Mary cosponsored the Cleaner Air Spaces Act of 2023 to direct the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to provide grants to air pollution control agencies to implement a cleaner air space program.

Mary cosponsored the Save Our Sequoias Act to improve the health and resiliency of giant sequoias.

Mary cosponsored the Coastal Seaweed Farm Act of 2023 to carry out a study on coastal seaweed farming, issue regulations relating to such farming, and establish an Indigenous seaweed farming fund.

Mary cosponsored the WIPPES Act to require the Federal Trade Commission to issue regulations requiring certain products to have “Do Not Flush” labeling.

Mary cosponsored the Reducing Plastics in Wastewater Act to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to make certain activities for the removal of plastic waste and post-consumer materials from wastewater eligible for assistance under the State water pollution control revolving funds.

Mary has worked to revise the Magnuson–Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act since her first day in Washington.
