Top scientist, Jack Stanford, rebuts misleading statements made by the Pebble Limited Partnership (Anglo American and Northern Dynasty) about the impacts of the proposed Pebble Mine on the Bristol Bay salmon fishery. Here’s a quick excerpt of the lead in to the article, but read the whole thing in the Anchorage Daily News.
“They stated in public forums that Pebble is not located in the headwaters of Bristol Bay and that it would only affect about two streams out of some 42 similarly-sized streams in the project area, thus creating the false impression that this enormous copper and gold mine would cause minimal harm to the habitat of Bristol Bay’s great salmon fishery. Nothing could be farther from the truth.”
