    Fisheries board: Bay protection warranted

    DateTuesday, December 8, 2009 at 12:00AM

    The Alaska Board of Fisheries decided Saturday to send a letter to state legislators asking them to consider more regulatory protection for salmon in the Bristol Bay river drainages downstream of the proposed Pebble mine.

    The board could have advocated for a state fish refuge in the Nushagak and Kvicahk river drainages that would have subjected the Pebble Mine project to additional environmental oversight.

    Don't be too quick to give the board of fish credit on this one.
