5 of the nation's leading jewelry retailers support the protection of Alaska's Bristol Bay from large-scale metals mining.

A Canadian mining corporation wants to create one of North America’s largest open pit gold-copper mines, the proposed Pebble Mine, in the headwaters of Bristol Bay: a pit 2.5 miles wide and a toxic lagoon almost 20 square miles.

The "No Dirty Gold" campaign lists the "Golden Rules" for responsible mining: basic standards to insure gold is not produced at the expense of communities, the workers, and the environment

The hard-rock mining industry is the single largest source of toxic releases in the US and this industry has caused enormous damage to rivers and fisheries around the world.

Native villages of Bristol Bay harvest fish and game to support their lifestyle.

Bristol Bay is also home to populations of moose, seal, walrus, grizzly, brown, and black bear, beaver, wolverine, bald eagle, caribou, beluga and killer whale, wolves, and more!
