Bristol Bay attracts hundreds of thousands of waterfowl such as Snow Geese.
Dear Melissa,
There are few places on earth as important for birds and for salmon as Bristol
Bay, Alaska. And few places could be worse for a massive mining operation.
Despite opposition from local residents, Native communities, and commercial
fishermen, developers are pushing ahead with the dangerous Pebble Mine
proposal, and the federal government is now considering whether to give the
mine a green light.
Write to the Army Corps of Engineers and tell them you oppose this disaster
waiting-to-happen.

Bristol Bay supports an astounding number of birds. Up to 13 million seabirds
depend on its bountiful waters as they forage across the Bay in the summer. The
rocky cliffs and islands in this part of southwest Alaska draw in millions of
nesting seabirds, including Tufted Puffins, while the rich lagoons and lowland
areas attract hundreds of thousands of waterfowl and shorebirds. These rich
waters also bring in astonishing numbers of salmon, supporting thousands of
jobs and the traditions and subsistence of Alaska Native people.
Building an open-pit mine in the headwaters of Bristol Bay has the potential to
devastate the economy and environment of the region. The mine would destroy
wetlands and streams and produce up to 10 billion tons of waste. The dams
holding back the mining waste inevitably fail, which would wreak havoc on birds
and fish, as well as the livelihoods and communities of the people who depend
on this unspoiled environment. Just a few years ago, the EPA determined that
these impacts could be “catastrophic”.
Again, please take a moment to submit a public comment to the Army Corps of
Engineers and tell them that huge open-pit mines do not belong in Bristol
Bay.<https://click.everyaction.com/k/1236743/6817055/348339778?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9UU00vVFNNQVUvMS81NjQ5MCIsDQogICJEaXN0cmlidXRpb25VbmlxdWVJZCI6ICI5NzMzOTg1ZS1iMDVhLWU4MTEtODBjMy0wMDE1NWRhNzgwMTIiLA0KICAiRW1haWxBZGRyZXNzIjogIm1lbGlzc2Fncm9zc0BvdXRsb29rLmNvbSINCn0%3D&hmac=RqjhVI3NPiddlj9DPwuFJnjwLhLxc3MAKpUYIWlY1_8=&ms=policy-adv-email-ea-x-20180518_bristolbay_alert_a&utm_source=ea&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20180518_bristolbay_alert_a&emci=f4e2c9bf-fb59-e811-80c3-00155da78012&emdi=9733985e-b05a-e811-80c3-00155da78012&fn=Melissa&ln=Gross&em=melissagross%40outlook.com&add1=125%20Icehouse%20Pt%20&ci=Montross&st=VA&pc=22520&p=Mrs.&hp=3019802717>
