The Pebble Scoreboard
A compilation of the good, the bad, and the ???
     
 

The Pebble Scoreboard is an attempt to keep the public informed as to the position various officials and entities have taken with regard to the proposed development of the Pebble Mine and mining district at the headwaters of the Bristol Bay watershed in Alaska. The information below is believed to be accurate according to our best sources, but it is not warranted, and subject to change. In the event an organization or individual feels that their position has been miscategorized, or if they now wish to take a public stand not previously announced, we would ask them to contact us at info@renewableresourcescoalition.org to correct or update their listing. The below categories are: "Opposed" (to the proposed mine and mining district); "In Favor" (of the proposed mine and mining district); and "Undecided" (as to whether they are in favor of, or opposed to, the proposed mine and mining district). Organizations listed in red have changed their position on the issue.

We will not attempt to report the obvious. Namely, most mining organizations are In Favor of the proposed mining district, and most general environmental organizations are Opposed. Particularly significant organizations on either side will however be reported. Please click on the links to see the exact statements of the respective organizations and individuals.

 
     
We would respectfully suggest that the citizens of Alaska and our great country duly note the position taken by our local, state, and federal officials, as well as the named organizations.

Note: Some organizations have voiced serious concern about the proposed Pebble Mine and have registered their support of House Concurrent Resolution No. 29 which would require DNR to conduct a thorough review of the Bristol Bay Management Plan as it pertains to mining. Those organizations are not presently deemed to be "Opposed" for the purposes of this Scoreboard but their statements of serious concern are set forth below:

- Safari Club International
- Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation
