Bristol Bay is not the right place for the Pebble Project, potentially one of the world’s largest open pit copper and gold mines. No mine development of the magnitude proposed has ever been successfully built or operated in such a hydrologically unique and sensitive area. Dam failures and toxic releases would be catastrophic in this location - where nearly every river and stream contains anadromous fish species.
