Plans for a controversial gold mine that would have been developed near the world’s largest sockeye salmon run have been blocked.
Joe Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency stepped in to restore protections for Bristol Bay in Alaska and prevent the Pebble Mine project.
The EPA announced that it will use the Clean Water Act to protect the salmon-rich waters from being contaminated by material from a mine.

Having fished Bristol Bay and its tributaries recreationally I am glad someone is looking out for the habitat there, its spectacular and would be such a shame for some company to come in there and ruin it. I know they have said they can mine in such a way as not to but I don't trust them.
