World’s largest pit mine planned for SW Alaska

The project would have a huge impact on wild salmon fisheries in Alaska. It also involves two dams, one larger than the Three Gorges Dam in China.

As usual in the Bush Administration, the BLM is facilitating the matter even as opposition in Alaska and elsewhere grows.

  1. The proposed mine is to be located in Southwest Alaska near Bristol Bay not Southeast Alaska. These two regions are geographically different and a thousand miles apart.

  2. I live in Alaska, and we are absolutely outraged about the Pebble mine project. Northern Dynasty needs to be told to go home. Now.
