The award-winning documentary, Red Gold, follows the world's largest run of sockeye salmon from Alaska's Bristol Bay to their natal spawning grounds. The film weaves in the extraordinary stories of the Alaska Native people and commercial fishermen whose lives and traditions the salmon sustain. The proposed Pebble mine, a massive gold-copper-molybdenum deposit, now threatens to devastate those pristine spawning grounds.
Hi Lydia- enjoy some well deserved site seeing time off. I mentioned to Bobby, maybe a public, grassroots education BOYCOTT
of this company’s products might be a way to get their attention? Or maybe salmon distributers…if salmon is suddenly not available, or is available with petition drive about addressing the adverse impacts to salmon survival are ways to get action?
I read that cattle and chicken operations had to improve standards when the public boycotted McDonalds, and McDonald’s then pressured the animal feeding operations to clean up their act…maybe fish distributors can help? Maybe a NYC campaign, since salmon is such a big part of NY culture? I’m here to help in any way I can. Peace Out.
