Apparel Company Joins the Fight to Save Bristol Bay

A small fishing apparel company, Home Waters Co., is selling merchandise to save Bristol Bay — a watershed that is considered to be a wild salmon powerhouse in southwest Alaska.

As wild salmon populations decline globally, Bristol Bay’s wild salmon runs and the economies they support make it a place of international importance. For years, the region faced a massive threat from the proposed Pebble mine, as well as hard rock mining on adjacent state and federal land. Learn more about the proposed Pebble Mine.
