Oil drilling and Bristol Bay

So, are you aware that the federal government has proposed an offshore oil and gas lease sale for Bristol Bay in 2011?

Here's an article I wrote for the latest issue of Petroleum News about how one sale supporter is fighting for protection of fisheries.

    Hey Wesley,
    For folks interested in the issue a good source of info is the North Aleutian Basin Energy-Fisheries Workshop Proceedings from March 18-19 2008 put together by Alaska Sea Grant. Its $15, but gives a good overview of all the issues and plans/opinions by the Oil Industry, MMS, ADF&G, NOAA, and the major players in the industry. Your local library should have a copy, if not you should tell them to get one.

    All of those effected by the fishery and the job issues that this may or may not offer.
