Daisy Berg
SEAFOOD CATEGORY MANAGER, NEW SEASONS MARKET
Bristol Bay is one of the world’s largest fisheries for wild salmon. As a business committed to providing our customers sustainably harvested and raised seafood, New Seasons Market would be negatively impacted with the loss of this fishery. A mine in the region would benefit very few and hurt so many, including fisherman, retailers, and consumers throughout the supply chain in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.
Mat Jackson
GENERAL MANAGER, GRUNDÉNS
The Grundéns name stands for hard work. It stands for family. It stands for fishing. When bad ideas threaten our livelihood, we are going to stand with our community. Ripping a hole in the heart of the world’s largest sockeye salmon fishery and threatening 20,000 American jobs is a bad idea. Plain and simple.

The Pebble Mine makes no sense for Alaska. Sport fishing, hunting and eco-tourism contribute $160 million every year to Bristol Bay communities, and this amount is increasing every year. Recreational and American commercial fishing jobs account for 14,000 permanent jobs and that number will continue to grow. Pebble will only provide temporary jobs and the corporate profits from the project will leave our country. This is a bad deal for Alaska and the United States.
