Help Protect Bristol Bay

Over the years we have been lucky enough to partner with the hard working fishermen of Bristol Bay, Alaska.  They spend every summer working their nets to bring us delicious, sustainably harvested salmon. This precious fishery is currently being threatened by the proposed construction of the largest open pit copper and gold mine in the country.

If the Pebble Mine is approved, up to 10 billion tons of waste would be created inevitably harming the largest sockeye fishery in the country.  The EPA released a draft of restrictions on July 18th in an attempt to protect the salmon’s habitat. They are accepting public comments until September 19th regarding the drafted restrictions and how it should proceed.

If you would like to learn more about the salmon’s habitat or the fishermen being impacted, please visit the Bristol Bay website www.bristolbaysockeye.org/
