Friend,

This might be the last place we should put the largest open-pit mine in North America.

The Bristol Bay watershed is a wild place, home to hundreds of kinds of wildlife, including one of the last healthy salmon runs in the world -- but the proposed Pebble Mine would jeopardize all of that.[1]

The good news is that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently accepting public comments on whether or not to block this dangerous idea -- but only until July 5.

Add your name to tell the EPA: Bristol Bay is no place for a toxic, open-pit mine.

Dear Friend,

Bristol Bay is an absurd place to put a mine.

Located in southwest Alaska, the Bristol Bay watershed is a wild place that diverse wildlife depend on. It stretches across wetlands and tundras and supports everything from salmon to brown bears.[1]

Unless we take action, Bristol Bay could also be home to Pebble Mine. If opened, Pebble Mine would be the largest open-pit mine in North America.[2]

Bristol Bay is an ecologically diverse and culturally important watershed. It has one of the last great salmon runs in the world, and that alone makes its headwaters a terrible place to put an open-pit mine. The watershed is also home to more than 40 mammal and 190 bird species. It is also one of the last remaining truly wild spaces, with no roads in or out of the bay.[3]

Pebble Mine would threaten all of this. Opening Pebble Mine requires the construction of roads in this wilderness, which can block wildlife migration. Chemicals from oil leaks, de-icing and accidents can poison the watershed and its fragile ecosystems.[4]

Fortunately, we have the opportunity to defend Bristol Bay.

Right now, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is accepting public comment on its proposal to veto Pebble Mine, and it's obligated to review and consider all input. By submitting a comment, you'll help build the necessary support to protect this special place.

The EPA is only accepting public comment through July 5. Take action today.
