Bristol Bay: Sustainable Fisheries, Sustainable Future

Bristol Bay: Sustainable Fisheries, Sustainable Future

The future of Bristol Bay fisheries is at stake with the impending sale of oil and gas leases.

In this short documentary, the rich history of fishing in Bristol Bay, Alaska is revealed through the lives of fishermen/women and Native Alaskans who depend on its sustainable resources.

The value of safeguarding the Bering Sea’s renewable fish and wildlife resources far outweighs the low potential of oil and gas revenues and the associated risks of offshore activities. 

Produced for World Wildlife Fund, this film was presented to lawmakers in Congress to inform them about the Bristol Bay Protection Act, which would prohibit offshore oil and gas development in Bristol Bay permanently.  

Update: In March 2010 President Obama recognized the value of Bristol Bay by prohibiting offshore development until 2017.
