The threat of toxic large-scale hard rock mining will continue to loom over Bristol Bay until watershed-wide, permanent protections are secured
With your help we have already made great progress to protect Bristol Bay from the threat of the Pebble Mine through the finalization of EPA’s Clean Water Act protections. Now the State of Alaska is challenging the EPA's action in court and Pebble continues to pursue their plans to build the largest open pit mine in North America in Bristol Bay’s headwaters. Additionally Bristol Bay faces the threat of over twenty other mining claims still active in the watershed. In order to ensure that future generations do not continually face threats like Pebble, action is still needed to permanently protect this irreplaceable watershed.
Take Action today ask our elected leaders to protect Bristol Bay Permanently in order to defend the Clean Water Act Protections for Bristol Bay and prevent future damage to the watershed.
