Meet Tessa Coopchiak @tessa.coopchiak from Togiak, Alaska. We get to learn about where she is from, her connection to subsistence and now sport fishing, as well as her experience this week as a Bristol Bay Fly Fishing and Guide Academy student. I am relieved to know our next generation of Native leaders are connected to their homelands, culture, education, and new experiences.
Submit a comment to the EPA that you support strong Clean Water Act protections for the Bristol Bay region for its people, fish, and fish-based industries as soon as you can."
