Sign Petition: http://www.freshthemovie.com/salmon Wild Alaskan salmon is one of the most sustainable and healthy fish you can find. But if we don't act now, it may disappear forever. Critical breeding grounds for wild salmon are endangered by the proposed construction of America's largest open pit copper and gold mine, deep in the heart of Bristol Bay, Alaska.

Next year, developers plan to apply for permits for the construction of Pebble Mine. It's not too late for us to stop them if we act now. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently considering requests from stakeholders to use its power under the Clean Water Act to protect Bristol Bay. Pebble Mine would cover 20 square miles in the Bristol Bay watershed, in a seismically active region, and require the construction of the world's largest earthen dam for a 10 square mile waste containment pond. Up to 10 billion tons of toxic mine wastes could be produced. Any release of these wastes could cause irreparable damage to the Bristol Bay salmon runs.
Even worse: while our wild salmon are under threat, genetically-modified salmon may be introduced to the market any day. This video contains exclusive footage with Paul Greenberg, best-selling author of Four Fish, as well as amazing footage of spawning salmon in the bay.
