11/21/2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE–AGENCE RLA, LLC CONTACT: Robert Lundahl | 415.205.3481 Alaska’s Pebble Mine Gold Rush Raises Specter of Arctic Improprieties for Congressional Investigation. Robert Lundahl’s Podcast, “Nature’s Touch” explores the issues through the eyes of the Bristol Bay’s 1.5 Billion-Dollar fishery, some say is threatened. Our next radio program/podcast in production for the Agence series, "Nature's Touch: Climate Change is Here" with Hunter College/CUNY Department of Geography and Environmental Science, features Michael, MJ Jackson. Jackson, who lives in Bellingham, Washington, has fished Bristol Bay for 35 years. Bristol Bay offers the largest and healthiest runs of Sockeye Salmon in the world. As salmon runs across the Pacific Northwest and Alaska have weakened overall, Bristol Bay remains the last best habitat for the beloved fish. Michael is Vice President and Board Member of Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association. As the website states, “His strengths are few and his weaknesses many, but his one saving grace is his commitment to soliciting fleet input in all BBRSDA program proposals. As such, Michael provides a window into the soul of these brave men and women who ply the dangerous seas of Alaska to bring us healthy food and nutrition. That service to humanity around the globe (Bristol Bay provides one third of the total global product of Sockeye) provides a delicious bright red anadromous fish which is considered a delicacy, and which is counter point to the broader losses in the region and a bulwark species in limiting the effects of climate change on human populations. This includes the 31 Native Communities around Bristol Bay itself, which depend on salmon for their spiritual sustenance and subsistence lifestyles, in an area 180 miles from the nearest city, Anchorage.
