Yay! Now shut her down for good. Pebble is within the Jay Hammond Special Fisheries Reserve (may have name wrong) but why this tiny "island" of land set aside as a mining district smacks of a special favor, and I would like to know why it was put there. Perhaps Mr. North knows. It's a burning question for me. It doesn't belong and it's existence is suspect. One only needs to look at a chart to see it. Why is it there? Was the gold prospect known back when Hammond designated the land as a special fisheries area?
