Bristol Bay

It is amazing that something such as the pebble mine can pass by so many people that aren't in the fishing industry as just another event that doesn't matter. This pristine environment in Bristol Bay Alaska is one of the last strongholds for wild salmon, and the ecosystem that relies on the salmon would be so greatly affected by the pebble mine that it would be forever changed.
