Embracing new technologies and processes is never easy in any industry, but in the decades gone by, the fishermen of Alaska's Bristol Bay have made big strides toward improving the quality of their catch.

I was dismayed and frankly, disgusted at the recent Supreme Court decision that would allow the Kensington gold mine to dump industrial waste into a freshwater lake. Those of us who depend upon the salmon fishery are frustrated that the Clean Water Act could be subverted in such a way.
