A note from Lopker about 'Beautiful Bristol Bay':

"Bristol Bay is the lifeblood of Alaska. Home to the world’s largest wild sockeye salmon run, the bay provides tens of thousands of Alaskan jobs and feeds Americans from coast to coast. Its pristine waters have sustained the Indigenous peoples of the region for millennia, and each year tens of thousands of anglers and visitors from around the world are drawn to its extraordinary beauty and abundance. The foreign-owned Pebble Mine would poison Bristol Bay, weaken Alaska’s economy, and threaten our way of life."
