Renewable Resource Coalition is an advocacy group sponsoring the Protect Alaska's Clean Water Act (2008).
Primary Sponsors include Arthur J. Hackney, Dale E. Wagner, Mark A. Niver. The sponsors are part of the Renewable Resources Coalition which is also sponsoring the Pollution Zone Act and the Fisheries Conservation Act. The coalition was formed in 2005 to fight the development of the Pebble project.
Citizens, like Anders Gustafson, a fishing guide in the region, say that the coalition is acting on behalf of concerned citizens in the area. This is especially true for those in the area that run fishing lodges, like money manager Robert B. Gillam which are actively fighting Pebble project.
"Wild salmon and clean water should be more important to Alaskans than gold and copper. Renewable resources should always trump nonrenewable ones," said Richard Jameson, director of Renewable Resources.[1]
