The President Donald J. Trump and U.S. EPA know what’s at stake. They have the power to act now and stop Pebble Mine. #BristolBay is too special to be destroyed by a massive open pit mine looking for short-term profit. It’s time for our leaders to do what’s right and kill Pebble Mine for good.
66+ million wild sockeye #salmon returned to #BristolBay this past year 🐟. This thriving ecosystem supports thousands of jobs, a $2.2B economy, and the region’s Indigenous peoples. It’s time for the U.S. EPA to finally protect Bristol Bay and #VetoPebbleMine. fishermenforbristolbay.org/take-action
