opposing the Pebble mine and the mining districts.

This fight to save the Bristol Bay watershed is going to be a tough battle against a well financed 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. Learn more about how you can help save the Bristol Bay watershed of Alaska below.

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 .
