EPA RELEASES FINAL WATERSHED ASSESSMENT FOR BRISTOL BAY

The EPA has released their final assessment of the Bristol Bay watershed being threatened by the Pebble Mine project.  What comes next is up to sportsmen.

In response to the Environmental Protection Agency's public statement, more than 1,000 sportsmen's interest groups and businesses authored letters calling on the Agency's scientists to implement their conclusion that "large-scale mining in the Bristol Bay watershed poses risks to salmon and Alaska Native cultures" to protect the fishery from the Pebble Mine project being pursued by Northern Dynasty Minerals.
