An Eco-War Is Coming to Alaska: Salmon vs. the Gold Miners

By Goldfinder

From piece: "In one corner of Alaska's Bristol Bay, the sockeye salmon, a $300 million resource that's sustained fishermen like 29-year-old captain Lindsey Bloom for more than 100 years. In the other, the Pebble Mine, with its projected hundreds of billions in copper and gold. Get ready for the fiercest wilderness rumble since ANWR."

    Would you believe it is called a "Christmas cactus" for a reason.I have 12 of them (red,white,pink) It is a suculent so only water it once every 2 weeks.Feed it with miracle gro once a month.This will keep it healthy through the rest of the year.It will NOT bloom untill well, Christmas! I have had them for 4 years and they always bloom right on or just before Christmas.Hold off on watering them 2 weeks prior to bloom.This will encourage bloom.Make sure they get 5 or more hours of sunlight,too.

    A Sockeye is a King that lost the fight… :-) They are two different types of salmon… kinda like a channel cat and a blue cat. Same general species but different animals… By the way ideratherbefishin is a little off. like 4000 miles off… King salmon are a Pacific breed, ever heard of King salmon fishing in the Kenai in ALSAKA… ( pssst… Alaska is on the WEST coast dude…) last time I checked the only salmon in the Atlantic were Atlantic salmon… If you want salmon go for the pacific.

    “Well, it’s more of the unsuitability of weather (Summer Olympics in Alaska?), a terrible human rights record, and trying to safely coordinate millions in such a small area that makes me wonder what rationale left other countries behind. Especially when countries like Australia and the US are low-risk, high reward, and have experience hosting massive events. South Africa had doubts to their ability to build stadiums on time. The weather is average, and is in a more stable place socioeconomically.”

I’m not sure why you’re bringing religion into this either as I am an Atheist so don’t have any religion and the analogy didn’t work in this case as you are quite obviously wrong… Anything else you want to say?

  40. OK, I will address this to the general viewership. I support conservation efforts, especially those that are thought out and balanced. The sad truth is that GREEDPEACE has no interest in educating 3rd world fishers or anyone about balanced sustainability. They are radical finger pointers. While I have no hatred to vegetarians, not everyone has access to high protein vegetable product, especially that is palatable. My concern is for the 25,000 kids who die daily from malnutrition and diarrhea

  43. The birds get into the water immediately and start fishing. They always stay near the boat: when the it’s behind they litterally wait for it before they start diving again. I even saw one waiting for the owner to pick him up when he caught a fish. The guy missef first with his stick, but the bird stayed at the same place near the boat waiting to be picked up. And yes they take them then by the neck and throw them back, but believe me, you got now idea how strong those necks are!

    June, but it is not wise to depend on shrubs to produce flowers for a special event on a specific date. Too many variables are at play and you would not want your Special Day to be held hostage to the weather. The best way to save money is by cutting out skilled labor costs. For example, you might buy florists potted plants from a wholesale florist rather than having to pay someone to arrange or make nosegays out of cut flowers. Or you can have the bridesmaids and the bride simply hold a cluster of long-stemmed cut flowers tied together with a bow. This eliminates extensive designer costs for complicated arrangements. Simplicity is the soul of good design.
