Dear Friend, The people who depend on a healthy Bristol Bay for their livelihoods and way of life have been fighting against the proposed Pebble Mine for decades. Bristol Bay, located in southwest Alaska, is home to the world's greatest wild salmon fishery—generating $2.2 billion annually, supporting 15,000 jobs, providing 57 percent of the world's sockeye salmon, and all while sustaining the region's Indigenous communities. The Pebble Mine would severely impact this all. The project would entail mining a one-mile-wide and one-third-of-a-mile deep pit as well as the construction of massive tailings storage facilities, treatment ponds, dams, and a 270-megawatt power plant. If it continues as planned, the Pebble Mine would destroy thousands of acres of wetlands and miles of salmon streams, causing profound ecological harm to the region. For years, World Wildlife Fund has worked successfully with local partners and leaders to hold off the proposed mine, but the unique ecosystem of Bristol Bay won't be safe until the mine is stopped for good. The Environmental Protection Agency is currently collecting public comments on their Proposed Determination which would create permanent protections for the watershed and people of Bristol Bay. This is our chance to protect Bristol Bay for good. Add your support to WWF's comment letter urging the EPA to permanently protect Bristol Bay from the destructive Pebble Mine. Protecting this region creates a win for the environment, the economy, and the communities that depend on it. Let the EPA know that you support the permanent protection of Bristol Bay and its salmon streams—say NO to the Pebble Mine. Sincerely, Sara WWF Action Team Photo © Paul Colangelo / WWF-US
