Bristol Bay needs PERMANENT protection

Add your name to safeguard this crucial place [The headwaters of Bristol Bay from above.]( Dear {NAME}, This could be victory for a decades-long fight. [Add your support to our comment letter urging the EPA permanently protect Bristol Bay from the destructive Pebble Mine.]( WWF has long worked beside local and Indigenous communities to safeguard the Bristol Bay region, which is home to a wealth of fish and wildlife including the world's greatest wild salmon fishery, generating $2.2 billion annually, supporting 15,000 jobs, providing 57 percent of the world's sockeye salmon, and sustaining Indigenous communities. But as we've informed the EPA, the Pebble Mine would change all that: Dear Environmental Protection Agency, The Pebble Mine Plan will result in unacceptable, unmitigable risks to Bristol Bay watersheds and their fisheries. Additionally, adverse effects from accidents with mine tailings are likely to persevere "in perpetuity" and cause profound ecological harm for the entire area. We urge the EPA to act as quickly as possible to prohibit the Pebble Mine and permanently protect Bristol Bay's headwaters from such mining, in order to ensure protection for the watershed and people of Bristol Bay. Sincerely, {NAME} [Add your name ►]( We've successfully held off the Pebble Mine for a long time, but this precious, unique ecosystem won't be safe until the mine is stopped for good. [Sign onto our public comment and tell the EPA to prohibit all plans for the Pebble Mine and permanently protect Bristol Bay's headwaters.]( Sincerely, Sara WWF Action Team Photo © Paul Colangelo / WWF-US [View email as web page]( [Contact us]( [Update profile]( [Privacy policy]( [State disclosures]( [Unsubscribe]( Was this forwarded to you?
