Act now to save Bristol Bay!!
Help stop the proposed Pebble Mine slated for the headwaters of the Bristol Bay watershed in Alaska. The Pebble Mine threatens the spawning grounds of the largest run of wild sockeye salmon in the world. The Pebble Partnership, consisting of the Canadian mining company Northern Dynasty and a British-South African mining company by the name of Anglo American which happens to be the second largest mining company in the world, would like nothing more than for YOU to do nothing until after they get all their mining permits. By then, of course, it will be too late to stop the Pebble Mine. So please ACT NOW!
Anchorage Area Volunteers Needed :
Here’s your chance to help preserve our renewable resources, our native salmon and abundant wildlife, and have a whole lot of fun in the process. We are looking for volunteers in the Anchorage area, to work with our staff in the planning of our first ever Renewable Resources Coalition banquet/ball fundraising event. This is an opportunity for you to help save our fisheries, fight Pebble mine, all while planning the social event of the season. We are hoping to host this gala sometime in November of 2009. We will need to find a venue, come up with menu, prices, entertainment. If you are good at planning or just want to pitch in, we would appreciate your expertise and assistance.
If you don’t live in the Anchorage area you can still lend a hand by helping us secure raffle and auction items. If you are a guide or outfitter, or know one who would be willing to donate a trip, or are an artist, or work for a seafood company, donations of food, artwork, hunting and fishing gear, would all be appreciated—and go toward protecting Bristol Bay, Cook Inlet, and the ongoing protection of our hunting and fishing heritage.
If you are interested in helping
please contact Anders or Amy at our office at 907-743-1900
or e-mail at: info@renewableresourcescoalition.org
