Current situation
Pebble Mine is a proposal to mine the largest known undeveloped copper ore body in the world, in Bristol Bay, Southwest Alaska. The land is owned by the State of Alaska. Pebble Mines Corp. holds mineral rights for 186 square miles of the area.

Political position 1
Pebble Mine threatens one of the world’s last great salmon fisheries. It is a threat to Bristol Bay. A large open-pit mine right at the headwaters poses a significant risk. “It is a hugely important fishery, and having a large open-pit mine right at the headwaters poses a significant risk, and it is one that the people in the region are unwilling to accept.”

Political position 2
Pebble Mine will bring jobs and infrastructure to Southwest Alaska, provide tax revenue to the state of Alaska, and reduce American dependence on foreign sources of raw materials. It will help families remain in their villages and thrive. And it it possible to do this in harmony with the environment.

I’m fighting for my life against this mine. It is not just a mine. It’s going to destroy everything. It’s a death note, and it’s addressed directly to Bristol Bay. It’s disgusting that I have to live everyday with the constant that my forever home will be destroyed by Pebble Mine.
