2026/08/03

The Ketchikan Indian Community is pushing the state to reclassify invasive green crabs as a target for sport fishing, arguing that current restrictions hinder effective control of these ecosystem destroyers. These crabs are decimating eelgrass beds—critical nurseries for salmon and Dungeness crabs—and outcompeting native species.

2026/08/03

Dungeness crab season in Southeast Alaska ended three weeks early, with catches plummeting to the lowest levels in 30 years—just 388K pounds in the first week versus the expected 1.5 million.

Sea otters, now spotted in new areas and blamed for gobbling up shellfish, may be disrupting fishing patterns, forcing crabbers into tighter, mainland-focused zones. This isn’t the first early closure—this is the fifth

2026/08/03

Alaska’s about to make a big call on gas line taxes—and transparency is non-negotiable. Lawmakers must see real numbers, not promises, comparing three scenarios: no pipeline, pipeline under current taxes, and pipeline with new tax structures. Key metrics include projected gas prices, revenue, jobs, and risk allocation. Developers must answer hard questions: who’s buying, how much demand is locked in, how much of their own money they’re investing, and who bears the cost if things go wrong

Alaska’s energy future is in crisis as Cook Inlet gas, the state’s longtime power source, can’t meet demand anymore.
