Sitkoh Bay, Tongass National Forest, Alaska, 1998 Photograph by Michael
Melford When the tide goes out, a starfish is exposed to the elements
in Tongass National Forest. A popular spot for tourists along the
Inside Passage, the Tongass is the largest remaining temperate forest
in the worldR12;even as the logging industry lobbies for greater access
to it.
