A civil trial that began Monday calls into question the legality of much of the work done over the past two decades to study the massive Pebble copper and gold prospect in Southwest Alaska.

The “Pebble Pedalers” ride to stop a massive mine project in pristine Alaskan salmon territory.

A Native leader and fishing groups traveled to the nation's capital this week to try to stop development of a huge copper and gold mine in Southwest Alaska.

Fishermen and Alaska Native leaders opposed to the Pebble Mine project are in Washington, D.C. meeting with officials at the Environmental Protection Agency.

Planned mine project threatens pristine Alaska fishery.

Still two years away from the planned start of the permitting process, Pebble has become an issue in the Alaska governor’s race, spurred a fresh battle over federal regulatory powers and divided opinions across the state in unpredictable ways.

Here's an interesting story about an innovative program that trains Alaska Native youths from villages surrounding the Bristol Bay area to be fishing guides on the region's many rivers. Yes, that Bristol Bay...

The project at the headwaters above Bristol Bay would be the largest open-pit mine in North America. The area is home to enormous salmon runs and majestic scenery – and billions of dollars in minerals.

One by one, representatives of a dozen Southwest Alaska communities stood to tell the head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of the threat they feel the massive Pebble mine prospect would pose to their way of life.

Executives with Pebble Limited Partnership and some of their high-profile supporters, like former House Speaker Gail Phillips, have recently made misleading statements about the location and potential impacts of the proposed Pebble Mine.
