Just wanted to comment as a citizen on Bristol Bay. It appears that the panel of advisors are professional in their field for evaluating mining in Bristol Bay. However, Bristol Bay should be a no brainer when it comes to protecting, the salmon runs, the native indians, the mountains, rivers & wildlife there all need protection & the minerals for profit should not compromise any of these things! Certain areas need & deserve protection, Bristol Bay has not yet been abused by industry, industry must find their natural resources in less sensitive areas & proceed with the utmost caution in regards to operating in a environmental pleasing manner. But not Bristol Bay! Bristol Bay? No Way!
