About Pebble Science

This site promotes sharing of objective scientific information on proposed copper mining in Bristol Bay, Alaska. Mining in this region is controversial because mining can cause significant adverse impacts to water quality and fisheries and 51% of the world's sockeye salmon originates from Bristol Bay. Economies in the region depend on healthy biodiverse salmon stocks.
