About Save Bristol Bay
Trout Unlimited’s Alaska Program works to preserve, protect and restore wild salmon and trout populations throughout Alaska. Through sound scientific data, strong grassroots outreach and advocacy, and hands-on involvement in conservation projects we protect some of the most pristine and prized rivers on the planet, restore those that need some help, and engage the next generation of coldwater stewards in Alaska’s natural heritage.
Grassroots Organizing in Dillingham and Naknek
Trout Unlimited Alaska has a couple of information booths up in Dillingham and Naknek for the next couple of weeks as the commercial salmon fishing season revs up. The booths are staffed by TU-AK employees and volunteers who are offering information about the risks to Bristol Bay from large-scale mineral leasing in the watershed and what people can do to get involved. Thanks to the commercial fishing fleet for doing its part to protect Bristol Bay from the proposed Pebble mine and other potential mineral developments that could harm the world’s largest sockeye salmon run. You guys rock! Check out more of our photos on Facebook.
