Yakutat sockeye fishery blindsided by historic low return

By Robert Woolsey, KCAW-Sitka | Fisheries, Food, Oceans, Southeast, Subsistence, Wildlife

Pointing at Pebble, EPA leader looks to rein in agency’s veto power

By Elizabeth Harball, Alaska's Energy Desk | Alaska's Energy Desk, Economy, Energy & Mining, Environment, Federal Government, Fisheries, Southwest

Under the Obama administration, EPA used its authority under Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act to propose restrictions on the Pebble Mine.
