You made this happen. The stickers helped.

The decision to deny the permit for the proposed Pebble mine came from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers last week after finding the mine plan incompatible with Clean Water Act standards and “against public interest.” Backed by strong science, a complete permit review process, and overwhelming public opposition that started in Bristol Bay and permeated communities nationwide, this decision is met with a sigh of relief and gratitude from fish advocates everywhere.

This decision wouldn’t have been made possible without millions of people submitting comments and signing petitions, calling elected officials, and of course, rocking “No Pebble Mine” stickers for nearly two decades. Thank you.

While we are celebrating this massive win for Bristol Bay, and the end of Pebble right now, our work is far from over. Bristol Bay still does not have permanent protections, meaning Pebble (or other mining companies) could make another run at developing the region in the future. Please stick with us as we work to advance community-supported, long-term protections for the Bristol Bay region. Make a contribution today.
