Thanks to you, Pebble is delayed. Now, how do we stop the mine?
Wild Salmon Center supporters and our outdoor recreation and conservation partners just hit a homerun. Over the course of four weeks, you put enormous pressure on decision makers in Washington, DC, asking them to stop Pebble Mine. More than 35,000 people wrote letters to Washington and the Stop Pebble cry on social media was deafening. Prominent Republicans and Democrats came out against the mine, driving a wave of press stories.

On Monday, we got a significant, hopeful result in the drive to stop Pebble. 

The U.S. Army Corps acknowledged that the mine would harm Bristol Bay. And the agency delayed the Pebble Mine project slated for the headwaters of Bristol Bay, Alaska ([link removed]).

The agency said the mine’s application for federal approval was deficient ([link removed]) and could not be permitted without a better plan to compensate for the loss and destruction of thousands of acres of wetlands and 184 miles of salmon streams. Pebble Limited Partnership has 90 days to come up with a new plan. 

We are catching our breath and counting our blessings: numbers of Bristol Bay defenders are soaring, while support for the mine is melting away. Thank you! 

Now we turn our attention to what’s next: putting a stake in this terrible project, via an EPA veto of Pebble Mine ([link removed]). 

For the breakdown on what happened and what’s next ([link removed]), we turned to our Alaska Director, Emily Anderson.  

Please read, gather strength, and stay tuned for the final round: stopping this mine for good.
