Alaska: Governor Says Protect Fishing Families in BB Settlement - Governor Frank Murkowski on Monday said he is pleased that the Attorney General's office has filed to intervene as the court deliberates on how to divide $40 million in settlement money in the Bristol Bay price fixing lawsuit.

"It is clear that the plaintiffs' attorneys no longer have any interest in protecting the fishermen, as they go in to carve up the $40 million," Murkowski said. "They want to take home $12 million, plus costs. It is up to the state to protect the interests of the plaintiffs, and I am pleased that the Attorney General has asked the court to allow him to do that." - Read more...

Alaska Science: Southeast Continues to Bounce Back by Ned Rozell - After crunching the numbers from a summer of fieldwork, scientists have found that two areas in southeast Alaska are rising an inch every year.

If that doesn't sound like much, picture this: the ground at those two places will rise about one foot every 12 years. One hundred twenty years from now, those hills and shorelines will be 100 feet higher than they are today. Bays will become beaches. Beaches will become forests. Should climate warming continue, oceanfront property there has the security of rising more than 10 times faster than global sea level. - Read more...
