Bristol Bay’s thriving wild sockeye salmon population is a testament to Alaska’s responsible fisheries management practices. Alaska is the only state with sustainability built into its constitution and each season, only as much fish is harvested as the environment can handle – ensuring high-quality seafood for generations to come. Alaska fisheries, including Bristol Bay, serve as a model for sustainability for the rest of the world.
To celebrate the week, Seattle’s great wheel will glow red in honor of the ruby hue of Bristol Bay Sockeye Salmon. Bristol Bay Sockeye Salmon is also the official Alaska seafood of the Seattle Kraken and fans can try a variety of dishes at Bristol Bay Wild Market at the Climate Pledge Arena.
