MINING OPERATION THREATENS BRISTOL BAY WATERSHED

Bristol Bay, Alaska, is home to one of the most productive marine ecosystems in the world. But an oil mining deposit called Pebble mine has been built directly underneath important salmon spawning grounds. If Pebble is developed, it could quite possibly become the biggest open-pit mine in the world. This could be devastating to Bristol Bay's watershed- and it's aquatic inhabitants. Fortunately, the mine hasn't been developed, but is proposed to do so around 2013.  To learn more about this urgent issue and how you can help, visit www.WWF.org
