Bristol Bay, Alaska from what I have always heard is one of, if not the most worlds most amazing places for a fly fisherman to fish and visit. I had always been completely fascinated about tales of wild beautiful rainbow trout, grayling, and multitudes of salmon inhabiting the region from sources both online and offline. As of recently, I had heard talk and rumors about a large scale open pit gold mine proposed to be placed directly on top of the world famous river drainages in the bristol bay region. I did some research and decided that this was an definately an important issue that needed to be addressed by fisherman from around the world. I am concluding my junior year in high school here in Maine. As part of our curiculum every junior in my high school is required to write a research paper, and for my topic of research I chose the proposed open pit gold mine known as the “Pebble Mine” that is under the operation of the Canadian mining company Northern Dynasty. So, instead of writing my research paper on some of the other more common topics such as bio fuel, global warming and recently introduced sports regulations; I decided to write my research paper on the Pebble Mine. This topic may not be very important to the majority of my classmates, but I could think of no

better topic to write my research paper on than something that will have an effect, one way or the other, on the world famous and precious Bristol Bay region of Alaska
