Bristol Bay is a place of dreams, to be protected forever.
This region fully embodies the spirit of Alaska. Home to the world’s largest wild sockeye salmon runs that support tens of thousands of jobs to help feed Americans from coast to coast. The massive trout and bears that thrive on the abundant salmon, entice hunters and anglers to journey to this pristine watershed in search of adventure and abundance.
At the heart of Bristol Bay is balance, grit, and a deep respect for all that this region gives. But unfortunately, there are still some who wish to jeopardize Bristol Bay in favor of foreign mining interests. That’s why we must continue working together and fight to protect it forever.
DEFEND ALL
OF BRISTOL BAY
Large-scale mining in Bristol Bay threatens all of this with toxic waste capable of seeping into the delicate watershed. In November 2020, the Trump Administration denied a key permit to the Pebble Mine, taking the first step to protecting the watershed. In January 2023, the United Sates Environmental Protection Agency went further to stop the threat of Pebble. But there is more work to do. These are some of Earth’s last great wild salmon runs, supporting a $2.2B fishing industry and more than 22,000 jobs in commercial and sport fishing, hunting, and tourism. It is a thriving, intact region that must be protected. Forever.
