Why settle for farmed fish when you can have the real thing? 🐟

[Nushagak Setnet @NushagakSetnet]

@PenClarion This is an absolute travesty. One group bearing the brunt of the conservation while others continue to fish. Ridiculous

The board will consider 52 proposals to change regulations in Bristol Bay’s commercial, sport and subsistence fisheries. The schedule may change depending on how long public testimony lasts and how quickly the board moves through the proposals.

[Year of the Salmon - North Pacific @yearofthesalmon]

Scientists on board the CCGS Sir John Franklin were surprised by how skinny one of the chum #salmon was 🐟 even though she had krill and jellies in her stomach. 🦐 Lab analysis of the liver, gill, blood, and muscle tissues will hopefully tell us more about her small size 🧪

This is an absolute travesty. Politics over biology at its finest...

It's been a good year in the #MightyNushagak

[Molly Dischner @fishnewsak]

Nearly 20 million sockeye have swum back to #BristolBay already this summer- and commercial fishermen in the Nushagak District set a new single day harvest record yesterday - 2.46 million! The Nushagak’s biggest day since the commercial fishery began!

[Watershed Watch Salmon Society @WatershedWatch_]

A new study suggests Atlantic salmon in a northern Finland river are getting smaller as the abundance of capelin, a small fish (and prey of wild salmon), declines in the region.
Capelin are harvested, in part, to create fishmeal for salmon aquaculture. https://t.co/r1c00y2KX9

If built, Pebble Mine would poison the Bristol Bay watershed with up to 10.2 billion tons of toxic waste, threatening the region’s world-class salmon runs. The @EPA can stop it. #VetoPebbleMine before next year’s fishing season.

[Molly Dischner @fishnewsak]

Board of Fish seat historically filled by a #BristolBay commercial fisherman has been empty for almost 4 months (including an emergency meeting) - @GovDunleavy won’t provide info on applicants. #akleg From @AlaskaJournal: https://t.co/AbwZz0zF1T

[Bristol Bay Forever @BBForever_AK]

In #BristolBay, salmon is gold. It is the @EPA’s duty to protect this invaluable resource from toxic mining developments and ensure the region’s salmon returns remain strong for generations to come. #VetoPebbleMine

[Nushagak Setnet @NushagakSetnet]

@kdlgradio Great article. Thx!!

[KDLG 670am/89.9fm @kdlgradio]

In the penultimate episode of the report, we look at the commercial fishery in the year when a record 65 million sockeye returned to Bristol Bay, and hear from managers, fishermen and stakeholders who partook in this astounding season.

@90sbroo @GovDunleavy No it is not. YOU don’t get it. You can’t eat gold, it is not sustainable, AND it isn’t going anywhere. We’d essentially be trading one resource for another. The rest of the world has screwed up salmon, so far we haven’t.

[Nushagak Setnet @NushagakSetnet]

@90sbroo @GovDunleavy You can take Pebble and shove it where the sun don’t shine. #WrongMineWrongPlace

[Bristol Bay Forever @BBForever_AK]

Salmon have sustained Alaska Native communities and cultures since time immemorial. The people of Bristol Bay’s food security and way of life are at stake. The @EPA must act now to #VetoPebbleMine and ensure that the #BristolBay watershed is protected for generations to come.
