Bristol Bay Alaska, home to one of the largest sockeye salmon fisheries and one of the largest king salmon runs is under threat from foreign mining corporations that want to turn the watershed into an industrial mining district, Pebble Mine. Even at its minimum size, mining the Pebble deposit would eliminate or block 55 to 87 miles of salmon streams and at least 2500 acres of wetlands - key habitat for sockeye and other fishes.
Be sure not to miss this very special evening!
