Along with the tourism season this year comes a battle over initiatives that would limit cruise ship traffic. On Juneau Afternoon today, we’ll have an introductory conversation on this complicated issue – and it won’t be the last.
We’ll hear first from a group called “Protect Juneau’s Future,” which formed to fight the initiatives. Then on Monday, we’ll hear the other side.
Also today:
- A preview of virtual performances from the Juneau Dance Theatre and the Juneau Symphony.
- And all about Greater Yellowlegs, Kingfishers and the Townsend Warbler. They’re tourists too, but of the feathered variety.
