NY Times contributor: big companies not doing enough to save Bristol Bay salmon

As the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) begins its watershed assessment on large scale development in Alaska’s Bristol Bay, New York Times contributor Paul Greenberg poses the question: Is enough being done to stop the proposed Pebble Mine from destroying one of the world’s most robust salmon resources?

Big companies should be more vocal in their opposition to the mine, Greenberg told IntraFish.

“I think the fishing industry needs to be on guard and see themselves more as stewards than just as hunters and utilizers of the natural resource,” said Greenberg, whose book Four Fish: the Future of the Last Wild Food hit shelves this summer.
