A podcast about Bristol Bay communities, cultures, and the stories that connect us
“Mug Up” is special in Bristol Bay, and a tradition in fishing communities. It’s a break for a warm drink and a short visit.
Hosted by Bristol Bay Native Corporation’s Communications team, this virtual “Mug Up” brings the community together to talk about our connections, cultures, and the stories that connect us.
We’re inspired to enrich and celebrate our Native way of life—today and for generations to come. This podcast offers another way to share our values and stories with our community and beyond.

Limited Entry Permits
In this episode, we mug up with Glenn Haight, Commissioner of the Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, and Dr. Rachel Donkersloot, owner of Coastal Cultures Research, for a deep dive into the world of Limited Entry Permits. Together, we explore the history, complexities, and evolving challenges of permits in the Bristol Bay fishery.

“It’s much more than our local economies…these fisheries are connected too. They’re part of culture. They’re a part of the well-being of entire communities. It’s about food security.”
