Learn more about the B.C. mines upstream from Southeast Alaska.
Ten large-scale mines (and counting) are in various stages of development at the headwaters of the three major rivers that flow from British Columbia into Southeast Alaska: Taku, Stikine and Unuk. Local indigenous culture and Southeast Alaska's booming fish-based economy revolve around clean water and healthy salmon runs. Mining in B.C. puts this all at risk.
