A group of high school students in Dillingham, Alaska, has launched an online petition calling on Congress and the Obama Administration to oppose to massive Pebble mine project in Bristol Bay. The group, called Rebels to the Pebble,  is organizing young people to join a grassroots campaign to stop the mine project from going forward. Like many others, including Trout Unlimited, Rebels to the Pebble say the risks to Bristol Bay’s rich salmon fishery are too great.
