The eagle got in through the back of the building, according to Karl Cristobal, who s been working at the local store for about three years. He said he s heard of a few eagles getting into the Alaska Ship warehouse, located at the back of the store, in the past. But since he s been working there, he hadn t heard of any actually getting inside where customers shop. It s happened like four times, I guess, said Cristobal. This is just the first one inside.
After over an hour of being chased up and down aisles by two police officers, store employees and volunteer Brie McGrath a fisheries biologist with the local Department of Fish and Game the bird finally tired out and fell to the ground. McGrath then gently but quickly trapped it in a fleece blanket, carried it outside and set it free near Margaret Bay.

Alaska s plan to pay out nearly $50 million to the fishing industry for pandemic relief has been approved by the federal government. It really was a balance between getting the funds out quickly and developing a spending plan with the input of affected fishery participants, Alaska Department of Fish & Game Deputy Commissioner Rachel Baker said.
Final details were released Thursday. Commercial applicants will need to show the COVID-19 pandemic caused them at least a 35 percent loss in revenue last year. Applications will be accepted during a two-month window opening March 1. Payment could come as early as June.

If you have a P.O. box in Unalaska or Dutch Harbor, it s likely you ve received a bright orange postcard in the past few days. That card is a notification for an upcoming subsistence harvest survey through the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
The survey is part of a larger project, according to Jackie Keating, a researcher with ADF&G s subsistence division. And the goal of that project is to document local knowledge and concerns about subsistence harvesting. The data collected from the research gives us a better idea of whether folks are able to meet their subsistence needs or if resource abundance has changed, Keating said. Because people on the ground obviously know these resources really well and know what has changed over time.
