Description

For more than a decade, the threat of a huge, open-pit copper and gold mine has loomed over the heart of pristine salmon spawning territory in Bristol Bay, Alaska. Following a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers decision in 2020 to deny a key permit for the mine, the EPA released a preliminary legal determination in May 2022 that forbids mining waste disposal in the Bay’s watershed.

If finalized and successfully defended in court, the EPA decision should spell the end of the Pebble Mine proposal.

Pebble Mine would directly impact the world’s greatest sockeye salmon run. It would put in jeopardy thousands of American jobs, a cultural tradition of subsistence dating back 10,000 years, and a robust sport-fishing and tourism economy.

Lyrics

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Beautiful Bristol Bay
Will you sing your song today?
Sing it agaom one more time?
Sing it again for Pebble Mine
Sing it for them before they go
Sing it for them so they may know
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Beautiful Bristol Bay
Will you sing your song today?
Sing for the life in your cool waters
Sing for Alaska's sons and daughters
Sing for the shores that hold you dear
For the snow & rain and rivers so clear
For the sea, the sun, the moon & stars
Sing it for us and all of ours

Beautiful Bristol Bay
Will you sing your song today?
Sing it agaom one more time?
Sing it again for Pebble Mine
Sing it for them before they go
Sing it for them so they may know
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
