“because of money, because they have so much power, that industry has really been able to come in and divide communities. And pit us against each other in a lot of cases. And so, you know, there is this kind of unequal distribution where there's no real like bargaining power from the communities.”

Yeah, thank you for that. I mean, I think in terms of the cruise industry specifically, I think one of the problems that we've seen here in Southeast Alaska is that, like you said, because of money, because they have so much power, that industry has really been able to come in and divide communities. And pit us against each other in a lot of cases. And so, you know, there is this kind of unequal distribution where there's no real like bargaining power from the communities. And so in that regard, I think that, you know, something that would be really helpful would be a collective approach, you know, from different communities being able to come together and kind of set those boundaries, set standards for what that interaction should look like.
