Trees, Ghost Fish, and Dreams? Bristol Bay Watershed's Feared Pebble [Gold and Copper] Mine May Proceed after EPA Removes Salmon Protection Overruling "Top Scientists" According to CNN

This morning I saw the Pebble Mine in Alaska's Bristol Bay area may proceed if Alaska Governor Dunleavy gets his wish. If you click the link, you will hear republican, former New Jersey governor, and "under President George W. Bush, [. . .] EPA [Chief]"  Christine Todd Whitman say "It's mind-boggling that it's still being considered at all." The video notes "Roughly half the world's sockeye salmon come from here [. . . .] EPA scientists [wrote] a mine would result in complete loss of fish habitat that was irreversible."

For years, "No Pebble Mine" round stickers have been on trucks all over the Pacific Northwest. savebristolbay.org notes "Pebble mine threatens one of the world's last great salmon fisheries."  The website adds "February - June 2019: The Army Corps of Engineers released a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), launching a key public comment period." and "Close to 700,000 comments were submitted in opposition to Pebble’s plan."
