Champions of clean water and an intact ecosystem have a lot to celebrate with our recent victory in the Bristol Bay region of Alaska. But this ruling only protects a relatively small part of Bristol Bay, which is a huge body of water. Nelli Williams from Trout Unlimited-Alaska, and the 2016 recipient of the Orvis Breaking Barriers Award. She is a veteran of this battle, gives us her perspective on what has been protected, what remains to be protected, and what we should all be vigilant about in this magnificent watershed. It’s a feel-good story but a reminder that we need to keep our eyes and ears open in the future.
