Comment to support the Bristol Bay Forever Act!

A bill has been introduced in the state legislature that would permanently protect Bristol Bay’s waters, wild salmon, and salmon-based cultures and economy, from large-scale operations like the proposed Pebble mine. To learn more about the Bristol Bay Forever Act, click here.

Specifically, the bill would make the type of mining most harmful to wild salmon runs, called metallic sulfide mining, off-limits in the Bristol Bay Fisheries Reserve, which is an area that encompasses Bristol Bay’s major rivers, critical streams, and portions of two national parks and one state park. 

Please send a letter to your elected officials requesting they support this bill. We encourage you to edit the letter template below to personalize why you support a prohibition of mines like Pebble in Bristol Bay.
