Bristol Bay

Dear Conservancy Supporter,

Congress has just introduced a bill to permanently protect Bristol Bay, Alaska a natural treasure repeatedly targeted for mining. Now we need your help to make sure it gets voted on ASAP!

We're counting on you to call on your members of Congress to permanently protect this special place. Please don't wait to send your message today.

You stood with us last year to help successfully urge the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to protect Bristol Bay, home of the largest wild salmon run in the world, from imminent mining danger. But without the permanent protections in this bill, you can bet it's only a matter of time until Bristol Bay's fisheries and the Indigenous communities that rely on them are threatened once again.

We only have a couple months to get this critical bill across the finish line before Congress adjourns. If you agree that Congress should permanently protect this important natural treasure and habitat, speak up and urge your representatives to support this bill now.

This type of mining would not only devastate a globally important fishery; it would also destroy thousands of acres of wetlands and miles of streams that Indigenous communities have relied on for thousands of years.

Help us show that people from across the country agree: we must permanently protect this national treasure. Add your name now.

Join us in standing behind the region's Indigenous communities, who envision sustainable stewardship of Bristol Bay for generations to come. And that means permanently protecting this wild landscape for good.

Use your voice to elevate theirs. Sign now to help urge Congress to take action for Bristol Bay.

Thank you in advance for adding your name today.

Sincerely,

Signature

Christie McGregor
