Bristol Bay red salmon won't be worth a plug nickle if Northern Dynasty and their partners have their way with Bristol Bay.
Some helpful stats from the same article.
In Alaska alone, the Bristol Bay fishery supports 4,369 jobs in fishing and processing; plus 3,227 in Washington state; 2,143 in Oregon; 553 in California and 1,629 in other states, according to a recent report by researchers at the University of Alaska's Institute for Social and Economic Research. The fishery also creates an additional 7,800 jobs nationwide due to multiplier effects of retailing in grocery stores, restaurant and more and development of value-added products, they said.
All at risk if Pebble ever comes to fruition.
