In this special episode, Chris Wood, President and CEO of Trout Unlimited, joins Aaron Kindle to talk about the recent decision by the Army Corps of Engineers to deny the permit for the Pebble Mine. The proposed Pebble Mine would bring massive industrial development to the heart of the Bristol Bay area of Alaska and threaten huge portions of the finest salmon populations on earth. The announcement, just last Wednesday, right before Thanksgiving was huge victory and certainly something to be thankful for. Chris and Aaron discuss the latest developments along with the history of the project, the incredible values of this pristine area and next steps for ensuring that Bristol Bay remains wild and undeveloped in perpetuity.
