VOTE 4 FISH
Sorry it's been a while! Just wanted to stop by and leave these nifty links for you.
First, if you haven't seen Red Gold, please make it a priority. Please note that this documentary is a teensy bit dated and that some major changes have occurred. First and foremost, the EPA's involvement in halting the permitting process. Two, 2/3 of the Pebble Partnership have recently backed out of the project. Still, this is a great documentary to see if you're interested in the Bristol Bay fishery and the possible Pebble Mine presence. This is the version reformatted for PBS' Frontline series.

And for Alaskans, you probably already know that the upcoming election is super important for our fisheries, specifically Bristol Bay. In addition to Ballot Measure 4, we also have the hugely important Senator and Representative votes. Don Young and Dan Sullivan are both for developing the Pebble Mine. VOTE FOR BRISTOL BAY ON NOVEMBER 4TH.

The EPA's actions are a huge step in stopping the mine, but it's not over. Protect our fisheries!

Memorizing all my smolt identifications for Karluk! I’ll be camping along the river, hiking & doing king smolt surveys for the next month. (These lil babies are sockeye, you can tell by their overall shape, lack of prominent parr marks, eye size, and the transparency of their fins.) 🐟
For today’s Newsweek Rewind, we feature the Exxon Valdez oil spill, which occurred twenty-five years ago, on March 24, 1989. One of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history, Exxon Valdez released over 10.8 million gallons of oil into Prince William Sound, contaminating 1,300 miles of the coastline and killing thousands of birds, eagles, otters, and other native animals. Despite over a billion dollars being spent on cleanup, the region still hasn’t fully recovered, even a quarter of a century later.
The spill was covered extensively in Newsweek’s September 18, 1989 issue, with reporting by Harry Hurt III, Lynda Wright, Pamela Abramson in articles by Jerry Adler and Sharon Begley. The feature What Exxon Leaves Behind paints a grim picture. “Nearly six months after one of its giant tankers spilled millions of gallons of oil into Alaska’s Prince William Sound, Exxon is preparing to end its cleanup operation. It has been a colossal and humbling effort: Exxon has found that what man has defaced not even the world’s largest oil company can repair.”

Our Great-Uncle survived the largest tsunami on record—-1725 ft. He died this week at age 87. RIP Howard Ulrich. Along with his young son, Uncle Howard rode the Lituya Bay tsunami in his fishing boat! Incredible!
