Alaska’s pristine Bristol Bay provides the best habitat for wild salmon on Earth.
It is home to the world’s most abundant sockeye salmon fishery and one of the largest king salmon runs each year.
A wilderness area largely untouched by development, Bristol Bay’s crystal-clear waters are reminiscent of the historic environments in which all Alaskan fish species once thrived.
Despite its unmatched productivity and critical role in sustaining healthy salmon populations, Bristol Bay is under threat from foreign mining companies seeking to turn the watershed into an industrial mining district.
Pebble Mine not only risks the salmon but the culture of independent and native fisherman who have sustained on this resource for millennium.
Renowned chef Barton Seaver is touring the country to educate the public about this crucial natural resource, its place in the global ecosystem and opportunities to help preserve the bay with our forks.
