Posted: Apr 9, 2009 Post Subject: Protect California's Rivers from Harmful Gold Mining!

| Motorized gold mining dredges are popping up throughout the rivers of Northern California, especially on the Cal Salmon, Trinity, Klamath, and Scott Rivers. These dredges foul the rivers, kill fish, turn the water muddy brown, and stir up toxic mercury deposits.
Take a minute to send a one-click letter to Governor Schwarzenegger to support a ban on mining in our rivers!
These dredges affect all river users! Dredgers not only harm fish and water quality but also string ropes and cables across rivers, winch around boulders, and spill fuel into the river. Learn more from Klamath Riverkeeper.
Other rivers in California are also affected: the American, Yuba, Feather, Cherry Creek, Deer Creek, Cosumnes, Eel, MF Smith, and many, many others.
