The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Environmental Protection Agency have made moves to protect Bristol Bay’s wildlife, its habitats, and the people whose lives and livelihoods depend on this abundant ecosystem. Now, NOAA, which houses the National Marine Fisheries Service, is accepting public comments on a proposed Equity and Environmental Justice policy through August 31, 2022. So what does this have to do with Pebble?
Our mission in this work is to open the door to more conversations and actions that expand the commercial fishing workforce, diversify the industry and the beneficiaries of its success, and lay the groundwork for policies that can help commercial fishing fleets and communities thrive. As we deepen our understanding of these inequities, we will learn more about how they affect different people and communities, as well as how multiple inequities may exist between different cultures and across fisheries.
