After 125 years today, June 7 2009, the Bristol Bay fishery is alive and well. Learning from other salmon fisheries, then developing the Alaska Territorial Board of Fisheries in 1950 and with good fisheries management, this fishery has survived while others have not.
The future of this fishery’s continuing success will depend on Alaska’s decisions regarding industrialization of her resources and her continuing commitment to the care and protection of her living natural resources.
