The Obama Administration Should Protect the Bristol Bay, Alaska Watershed

Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–January 16, 2014.  Today, an updated analysis of the Pebble Mine project in Bristol Bay, Alaska, was released by the Center for American Progress in response to the EPA’s final Watershed Assessment. Based upon the peer-reviewed, multiyear science findings in the assessment, CAP determines that the open-pit Pebble Mine cannot coexist with the region’s $1.5 billion salmon fishery, which supports nearly 10,000 full-time jobs.
