Human Population of The Project Area
The Pebble site is within the Lake and Peninsula Borough. The Bristol Bay Borough and the Dillingham Census Area are adjacent. Altogether some 7500 people live largely rural lifestyles within or near the large area downstream of the Pebble site. The populations of Lake Clark National Park and other parts of the Bethel Census Area are upstream of the site or in a different watershed.
The populations in the area rely heavily on wild resources for subsistence purposes. Moose, caribou, and all five species of salmon are harvested by the residents of this region. Wild resources not only supply many communities with the majority of their foodstuffs but they also play an important part in the region's cultural heritage.
