Dear George,
Please take a moment today to support the EPA as they work to protect Bristol Bay’s fish, wildlife and water resources for future generations.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is listening to requests from TU members, hunters and anglers, commercial fishermen and Alaska Natives to use the Clean Water Act to permanently protect Bristol Bay, Alaska from large scale mining like the proposed Pebble mine. Bristol Bay's rivers support the biggest wild salmon fishery on the planet and the EPA is listening to your calls for common-sense conservation that puts wild fish and fishing jobs above open pit mining.

WHY WE CARE
We received some fantastic news for Bristol Bay, Alaska from the Environmental Protection Agency on Monday. The EPA is conducting a scientific assessment of the Bristol Bay watershed to better understand how large-scale development projects, such as the proposed Pebble mine, may affect water quality and Bristol Bay’s fishery. The science assessment is the first step toward using the Clean Water Act to permanently protect the most important fish habitat in Bristol Bay. Trout Unlimited's Alaska Program is applauding this as a great first step and encouraging EPA to finish the job in 2011.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Visit our online action center and thank the EPA for taking this important first step. Tell the EPA that you support initiating a Clean Water Act 404c action in Bristol Bay and that you look forward to supporting their continued efforts to move forward with protecting Bristol Bay’s fish, wildlife and people.
Sincerely,
Shoren Brown
