In central Pennsylvania, our lives flow into the Chesapeake Bay. In Alaska, our hearts and hands work the tides of Bristol Bay. These two watersheds, thousands of miles apart, are connected by the same purpose — to protect the wild places that feed us, our families, and our communities.
This month, we’re celebrating both bays.
When you purchase from Wild for Salmon, a portion of every order will be donated to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and your voice can join us in protecting Bristol Bay, Alaska — home to the world’s most abundant wild salmon fishery.
Our Waters Need Protecting
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation has shown what steadfast care can do for an ecosystem: cleaner water, stronger fisheries, renewed life. But across the continent in Bristol Bay, the fight is far from over.
Here, where the Kurians fish aboard the F/V Ava Jane, a foreign-owned mining company is still pushing for North America’s largest open-pit mine — the Pebble Mine.
If built, it threatens the pristine headwaters that sustain millions of wild salmon, thousands of jobs, and the delicate web of life that makes this fishery one of the last truly sustainable ones on Earth.
This April, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is accepting public comments as part of the mine’s permitting process. Every voice matters.
We invite you to share why Bristol Bay’s salmon fishery matters to you — and why the Pebble Mine must not move forward.
Clean Water. Clean Eating. Wild Living.
By partnering with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, we honor our home watershed — and extend that same care to the Alaskan waters that sustain our work.
Our hope is simple: that advocates for the Chesapeake Bay will see their reflection in Bristol Bay.
That everyone who believes in clean water and clean eating will stand up for wild salmon, wherever they swim.
Because every bay, every stream, every fish connects us.
From Pennsylvania’s farmlands to Alaska’s fjords, what flows in one river eventually feeds us all.
Join us — with your purchase, with your comment, with your voice.
Together, we can keep both bays wild, thriving, and full of life.
