The Swinomish tribe of Washington has depended on salmon for generations. But five populations of Pacific salmon are already on the brink of extinction and changes in the climate stand to make matters worse.

Together with the PBS NewsHour and KCTS 9, EarthFix recently visited the Swinomish Indian reservation to learn how they are preparing.

The Pebble Mine in Alaska is causing even an “ideal redneck Republican” like legislator Rick Halford to come out against it.

earthandscience:

Rick Halford is a “manifest destiny” kind of Alaskan. He cleared his land with dynamite. He calls himself the “ideal redneck Republican”. As a longtime leader in the state legislature, he never met a hard-rock mine he didn’t like.

That is, until he took a long look at the proposed Pebble Mine in south-west Alaska. It is a phenomenal prospect, the biggest and richest in North America. But to dig a mine there is to make a Faustian bargain that involves an agonizing Alaskan twist.

In return for copper and gold worth an estimated $500bn (£320bn), state and federal regulators risk poisoning what scientists describe as the last best place on earth for millions of wild salmon.

Classic bear eats salmon photo. Cool thing about this post, though, is that it includes a link through to video from their live webcam. I watched for a while. The bears are neat to watch, but no one caught any fish while I watched.

exploreorg:

We have all seen the picture of a Brown Bear with a freshly caught Salmon in its mouth. Now, we are excited to bring you the action LIVE from Brooks River, Alaska — where the world’s largest Sockeye Salmon run meets the healthy appetite of the Grizzly’s bigger cousins.

The fish are making their way upstream and the bears are crowding around the falls in the cathedral of the Alaskan wilderness. Watch this spectacle of nature on your computer, smart phone or tablet while the fish are still jumping.
