It is our hope that the Obama administration will soon take decisive actions to protect Bristol Bay. The administration has acknowledged that the wild salmon fisheries of Bristol Bay are unique and contain an irreplaceable global resource. While they have recognized that recommendations to allow mineral development on these lands should be postponed, we can not afford to wait on amending the existing plan in its current form. By not taking action at this time, the door is left open for a future pro-development administration to implement this flawed plan. Please consider sending a letter to BLM Director, Bob Abbey or Click here to tell Secretary Salazar to create responsible management for public lands and our wild fisheries.
