CFBB’s Media Library
Discover the heart of Bristol Bay through videos that showcase our fisheries, communities, and the fight to protect what matters most. Explore educational films, local stories, and powerful footage from the front lines of salmon advocacy.
At CFBB, our mission is clear: bring fishermen together to protect Bristol Bay, oppose threats like Pebble Mine, and secure permanent protections for salmon habitat.
This is more than advocacy—it’s a way of life, rooted in generations of fishermen and communities who know Bristol Bay must remain protected forever.
Bristol Bay is home to the largest wild sockeye salmon fishery in the world—an irreplaceable resource that sustains communities, economies, and global food security.
But without permanent protections, Pebble Mine and other threats remain a danger to this vital fishery.
