Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar is currently reviewing existing and new Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) leasing programs that call for a massive expansion of drilling leasing in our nation’s Arctic waters, including the fish-rich Bristol Bay and southeast Bering Sea.

Now is the height of the salmon season and millions of sockeye and red salmon are returning to their home streams to spawn. These fish recently swam through waters that are currently slated for leasing, which threatens the multi-million dollar fishing industry and the thousands of people that rely on the salmon runs. https://secure2.convio.net/sierra/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=2503&autologin=true
