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.
Pebble Pedalers Reach Peru
A little over a year ago the Pebble Pedalers, a two-man team of conservation-minded cyclists, left Alaska on a 17,000-mile journey to raise awareness of and garner support for protecting the Bristol Bay watershed from the proposed Pebble copper and gold mine. Their journey is also a fundraiser for Trout Unlimited Alaska's efforts to stop this high-risk mine project and protect Bristol Bay, which produces the world's largest wild sockeye salmon run. In their quest to ride through 15 countries—from Prudhoe Bay, the northernmost point accessible by road in Alaska, to Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of Argentina—the Parker brothers recently made it to Peru. They’ve been updating their blog regularly and have some fascinating and very entertaining entries to share. Read more on the Pebble Pedalers' blog and check out their web site.
