Alaska appeals Pebble Mine permit denial

Late last Friday afternoon, Alaska’s Governor Dunleavy announced that the State of Alaska will file an appeal in attempt to overturn the permit denial for the proposed Pebble Mine.

After the permit was denied in November 2020, Pebble quickly responded saying it planned to appeal the decision. Now, Alaska’s own governor is working on behalf of the disgraced Canadian mining company at the expense of Alaskans. 

Trout Unlimited is urging members across the nation to make their voices heard to stop the mine, which would irreparably damage the fishery in and around Bristol Bay. Those who live outside of Alaska are asked to send a note to your elected officials and ask them to support permanent protections for Bristol Bay.
