Speaker Bryce Edgmon (I-Dillingham) and Representative Andy Josephson (D-Anchorage) have introduced the Bristol Bay Forever Act in Alaska. If passed, this act would safeguard the Bristol Bay region from all large-scale metallic sulfide mining and ensure the future of the largest salmon fishery on the planet.

BBRSDA works hard to fulfill its mission of maximizing the Bristol Bay fishery’s value for our members, these efforts are summarized in the 2024 Annual Report to members.
