The Initiative

2.1 Purpose

The Wildfish Shelf Preservation Initiative was established to ensure that, whatever happens, there is something good on the shelf.

2.2 Location

The Initiative operates out of Klawock, Alaska, on an island reachable only by boat and small plane. The Initiative is unbothered by this. The Initiative has fish.

2.3 Scope

The Initiative prepares for three things: weather, guests, and appetite. Two of these arrive unannounced.
