By admitting that $ isn't the be all, end all.


The fishing lodges are industries and interested in $ too. I am hopefull the damsges will not be as bad as it looks. It certainly looks bad and why the dam failed is a big concern.


I'm not sure I see the link of "how to head off such an environmental disaster at the pass" relates to a fishing lodge.

Some updates - over 1100lbs of mercury and +160,000lbs of arsenic were in the tailings pond. Locals are posting pictures of dead fish floating in the lake. The sockeye are already in some of the rivers and creeks and the coho are supposed to be arriving in a few weeks.

I was planning on heading that way this weekend...
