Bristol Bay, Commercial fishing bay in southwestern Alaska, United States
The Bristol Bay watershed spans multiple river systems, including the Nushagak and Kvichak Rivers, covering extensive coastal and inland waters east of Cape Newenham.
The region has sustained salmon-based communities for over 4,000 years, with 25 federally recognized tribal governments maintaining their traditional fishing practices.
The Yup'ik and Dena'ina Alaska Native communities in the watershed represent some of the last remaining salmon-based cultures in North America.
The bay contains five management districts for commercial fishing: Naknek-Kvichak, Egegik, Ugashik, Nushagak, and Togiak, each corresponding to major river systems.
Bristol Bay produces 46 percent of global wild sockeye salmon, with annual runs averaging 37.5 million fish between 1990 and 2010.
