Pieridae Energy received environmental approval in 2014 to build a natural gas liquefaction plant at Goldboro, a tanker terminal, marine facilities and power plant.

The letter states that âAlaskaâs Bristol Bay supports the largest and most productive wild salmon fishery on Earth, supplying half of the worldâs commercial supply of wild sockeye salmon,â estimated at â$2.2 billion in annual revenue, 15,000 jobs, and sustaining Alaska Native communities that have relied on the salmon for millennia.â
