This permit denial didn’t happen easily. It was only possible thanks to strong science that you elevated by making calls, writing your elected officials, calling out Pebble’s lies, and giving generously to our work. Thank you for helping stop Pebble.
Any other time, you know we’d be having a big ‘ole party to celebrate this momentous milestone for Bristol Bay. But until we can gather safely, we encourage you to have a bonfire for Bristol Bay at your fire pit this Friday evening to commemorate the accomplishment we achieved together. (Follow local fire regulations.)
Email a picture of your bonfire (or tag @SaveBristolBay on social media) to be entered to win some sweet prizes!
Our fires will be lit to celebrate the win we’ve accomplished, but also to pause before we double down on the work ahead. We hope this bonfire will be a celebration for each of you, but that it will also reignite our spark for achieving durable protections so that Pebble can’t come back to threaten Bristol Bay in the future.
Thank you again for your generosity of time, energy and resources. We hope your Friday fire keeps you warm, makes you feel connected to thousands of other Bristol Bay enthusiasts nationwide, and gives you hope for the future of the most prolific wild sockeye salmon fishery on the planet.
