Help TU Protect Bristol Bay,
Alaska - home to one of the largest wild salmon fisheries on the planet
|
Contact President Obama
and the EPA today and tell them to protect Bristol Bay, Alaska, home to one of
the largest wild salmon fisheries on the planet. If built, Pebble Mine would
produce up to 10 billion tons of toxic waste that will have to be treated for
hundreds of years. This waste will threaten Bristol Bay's $600 million commercial
and sport fishery and 12,000 fishing jobs.
The future of Bristol Bay, an area the size of Ohio where a visitor is more likely to see a caribou or bear than another person, is in the hands of President Obama and the EPA. That is why Trout Unlimited is working with Alaska Natives, recreational and commercial fishermen, hunting and angling organizations, outdoor retailers, chefs, jewelers, and many others to protect Bristol Bay's salmon fishery and stop Pebble Mine.
