It opens to Bristol Bay , a large body of water in the eastern Bering Sea north of the Alaska Peninsula . It is home to the area s largest city, Dillingham, Alaska Dillingham , and the bay hosts one of the world s last great sustainable sockeye salmon fisheries. Bristol Bay residents have historically valued the estuary resources for both subsistence gains and commercial profits. However, given the estuary s importance, there have been few comprehensive scientific studies conducted in the bay. Species diversity as measured through richness and total biomass is generally low with 16 macro invertebrate species encountered in a 2007 field study, including teleost fishes, isopods, amphipods, and crangon shrimps. During the summer 2007, Nushagak Bay was found to have a Shannon Diversity H value of 1.54, ranking it below similar subarctic estuaries such as Ungava Bay, near Labrador 60 34 N, 67 35 W and Lower Herring Bay in Price William Sound 60 30 N, 147 13 W where the Shannon Diversity values are H 2.11 and H 2.5, respectively. This lower diversity of Nushagak Bay is most likely due to its low salinity, high turbidity, and silty sediments. Nushagak Bay is downstream of the proposed Pebble Mine , whose tailings storage lake would sit at the headwaters of the Koktuli River , one of the Nushagak River s tributaries.
