New Roadless Rule lawsuit seeks to restore environmental protections for Tongass National Forest

New ‘Roadless Rule’ lawsuit seeks to restore environmental protections for Tongass National Forest Share on Facebook Print article Twenty-two organizations representing tribal, environmental, fishing and tourism interests are suing the federal government to block a decision that lifts development restrictions in much of Southeast Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. In 50 pages of legal arguments, they say the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Forest Service failed to follow federal law when they ended restrictions this fall. They ask a federal judge to reinstate the old restrictions and declare that the federal government violated federal law. “We are deeply concerned about the protection of the Tongass National Forest, where our ancestors have lived for 10,000 years or more,” said Joel Jackson, tribal president of the Organized Village of Kake, in a prepared statement.

Alaska Journal | Year in Review: Ferry system still long on problems, short on solutions

Wed, 12/16/2020 - 9:10am The Alaska Marine Highway System ferry LeConte is seen dry-docked next to sister ship AMHS ferry Aurora on Nov. 5, 2019 at Ketchikan Shipyard. Mechanical failures and a thin sailing schedule left many coastal communities stranded in 2020 as multiple efforts continued to find ways to improve its economic viability amid state budget deficits. (Photo/Dustin Safranek/Ketchikan Daily News While it wasn’t until March that the year went south across much of the country, 2020 did not go well from the start for the state’s ferry system. All but two of the Alaska Marine Highway System’s 12 ferries were out of service for repair or lack of funds. A series of ill-timed mechanical issues and shipyard delays combined with a thin sailing schedule from significant budget cuts meant many isolated communities throughout the system went months without ferry service before sailing frequencies increased in late spring.
