Comments Off on Biden Protects World’s Largest Coastal Temperate Rainforest
WASHINGTON, DC, July 19, 2021 (ENS) – Across the entire 16.7 million acres of the Tongass National Forest in southeast Alaska, full Roadless Rule protections are being restored and there will be an end to large-scale old-growth timber sales, the Biden administration’s Department of Agriculture, USDA, announced on Thursday.
The Tongass National Forest is the world’s largest remaining intact coastal temperate rainforest and the country’s largest forest, too, with some of the oldest trees in the United States, some more than 800 years old.
“We look forward to meaningful consultation with Tribal governments and Alaska Native corporations, and engaging with local communities, partners, and the State to prioritize management and investments in the region that reflect a holistic approach to the diverse values present in the region,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announcing the new policy.
The IRONMAN Group and Travel Juneau are working to bring a full triathlon to Juneau. It would be the first IRONMAN-branded event in the state and a qualifier for the IRONMAN World Championship in Hawaii. Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - “This is the Hawaii IRONMAN,” Dave Christen, IRONMAN regional director said, fully extending his arm above his head. He was looking out at the water from the Auke Rec picnic area.
He lowered his arm an inch and said, “This is the Alaska IRONMAN in Juneau.”
Then he lowered it well below his waist.
“And this is all the rest,” he said.
Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - A glacially dammed lake above the Taku Inlet is compounding the already-existing flood warning for the Taku River as the water drains into the waterway.
The lake, called Lake No Lake, has been closely watched by the National Weather Service over the past several days, according to meteorologist Nicole Ferrin in an interview with News of the North. This is the typical time of year where [a release] could happen, she said. We got helicopter confirmation from Canadians that the lake has indeed drained into the Take River area.
This type of draining event from a glacially-dammed lake is called a jökulhlaup in Icelandic. Jökulhlaups also happen in the Mendenhall Valley when Suicide Basin drains, often causing the West Glacier Trail area to flood.
