Transboundary concern

Alaska and British Columbia officials met virtually this past week to discuss results of a joint water-monitoring study undertaken in the transboundary watersheds of the Unuk, Taku and Stikine rivers. The two years worth of data was collected by a program created by a 2015 agreement signed by then-Alaska Gov. Bill Walker and then-BC Premier Christy Clark. Back when the program was released in February, the Alaska and BC governments said the river monitoring program had finished its work, citing other sampling programs being planned by state, federal or provincial agencies. During Wednesday’s virtual meeting, Terri Lomax of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation noted existing monitoring being done by Alaska tribes, Canadian First Nations, the U.S. federal government and mining companies, according to a KTOO report of the meeting.

Bill that would allow cruise ships to skip Canada heads to Biden s desk | Alaska

The legislation approved by the House on Thursday goes to President Joe Biden, who is expected to sign it. This legislation is literally a lifeline for so many of Alaska s small businesses that were struggling, and it means jobs for more Alaskans this summer, said Sarah Leonard, president of the Alaska Travel Industry Association. Carnival Corp. said it expects to resume sailing to Alaska in late July and running until early October. The company said its Carnival, Holland America and Princess lines will each operate one ship on round-trip voyages between Seattle and Alaska for fully vaccinated passengers.
