The Partnership is committed to an environmentally-driven design that combines robust science with Traditional Knowledge. Our plan respects, supports and protects a thriving salmon fishery. The EIS confirms that the Project design will not reduce returning adult salmon to the Nushagak or Kvichak river systems (ES 54).

“The project would provide long-term economic benefits from employment and income in the region and state”

Pebble is a true asset of the state of Alaska. Uniquely situated, the Project will increase revenue, bring year-round employment, and broaden education opportunities in area schools (ES 28) through increased revenues. The Project could also potentially reduce population declines experienced within the region (ES 29).

“Impacts to anadromous and resident fish populations would not be measurable

The Partnership is committed to moving forward with a mine plan that respects the land, its people and a thriving Bristol Bay salmon fishery. The Project will co-exist alongside a healthy fishery, wildlife and other resources by deploying best-practice land management before construction begins and throughout the life of the Project.

“Our nation’s mineral security is a significant, urgent, and often ignored challenge”

Copper is one of the world’s most indispensable minerals. It is an essential part of our lives, necessary in millions of products we rely upon every day from computers and home electronics, to plumbing, building materials, vehicles, medical instruments, prosthetic limbs and more.

 

No measurable change in the number of returning salmon, nor a change in genetic diversity”
