Dillingham, AK – Today, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released its Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the controversial Pebble Mine project, which Bristol Bay communities, fishermen, and businesses have been fighting for more than a decade. The Final EIS arrives on the tail end of another historic fishing season in Bristol Bay where more than 35 million sockeye salmon were harvested. In response to the Final EIS, Alaska commercial fishing leaders expressed their disappointment with the Army Corps’ failure to conduct a rigorous and fair environmental review and its dismissal of potential impacts to Alaska’s seafood industry.
