Help Save Alaska's Wild Salmon & Clean Water

JOIN THE RRC AND VOLUNTEER SOME TIME

If you can volunteer some of your time for this monumental effort to stop the Pebble Mine and protect our wild salmon, please contact us immediately to help us.

Email us at:  Anders@RenewableResourcesCoalition.org
or telephone one of the following numbers in Anchorage:
(907) 743-1900

The time to wait and see is over.
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

OTHER WAYS TO HELP!

Your participation is vital to stopping the development of open pit gold and copper sulfide mines in the Pebble mining district, and the proposed BLM mining district of Southwestern Alaska. We are seeking your support, and involvement to help save fishing and hunting resources by asking you to:

Your membership fee will be used in the fight to preserve Alaska's fishing and hunting resources.

2) Encourage every organization that you belong to, to go on the record
opposing the Pebble mine and the mining districts.

3) Please tell everyone you know about the threat;

4) Respond to Pebble mine news stories with your own letters to the editor and call-ins to radio stations.

This fight to save the Bristol Bay watershed is going to be a tough battle against a well financed foreign mining conglomerate, but we can win it. Most Alaskans appreciate the Bristol Bay area as being the best of the best Alaska has to offer - for it’s spectacular fishing, the scenery and for it’s hunting opportunities. Accordingly, I think this is one situation where all commercial and sport fishermen, lodge owners, hunters, native subsistence users, tourism businesses and environmentalists can agree. The Pebble Mine, the mining district, and the road thereto, need to be stopped! Thanks for any help you can give the Renewable Resources Coalition. And remember, if you're not sure how you can help, you can always:

write Governor Sarah Palin and tell her what you think.
- Email the Governor HERE.

or join the RRC.
- Join the RRC HERE.

P.S. As many of you know, BLM's "preferred" alternative recommends that the agency create a major new mining district in Bristol Bay greatly expanding the existing Pebble mining area. For details please see the following for some background - http://www.renewableresourcescoalition.org/BLM.htm .
