Tim Bradner: Studies mine some intriguing data concerning Pebble
Published: June 29, 2013 Updated 10 hours ago
By Tim Bradner — Economy
The fur is flying again over the proposed Pebble copper and gold mine near Iliamna. Sunday is the deadline for comments on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's latest version of its "assessment" of the effects of a large mine in the Bristol Bay region. I just stand back and watch all this, preferring to wait to pass judgment until companies planning the mine propose an actual project. EPA did not wait for that to do its assessment. However, two recent new studies that touch on Pebble, one indirectly, are worthy of note, although they deal with economic rather than environmental values. One is an assessment of the economic contribution of Bristol Bay's salmon industry done by the University of Alaska Anchorage's respected Institute of Social and Economic Research...... http://www.adn.com/2013/06/29/2957506/tim-bradner-studies-mine-some.html
Fishing and Tourism Jobs Threated by Call for Increased Logging of Temperate Rainforest
June 28, 2013
(SitNews) Juneau, Alaska – Trout Unlimited and Sitka Conservation Society voiced concern this week that United States Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) may be backing an ill-conceived proposal by Alaska Governor Sean Parnell that the Forest Service hand over 2-million acres of Tongass National Forest old growth to the state for clear-cut logging. TU and SCS also expressed deep concern about Senator Murkowski’s recent call on the U.S. Forest Service to boost old-growth logging in Southeast Alaska’s Tongass National Forest, describing the senator’s remarks as inaccurate and out of touch with current economic conditions in the 17-million-acre temperate rainforest. “We’re worried that Sen. Murkowski is sprinting in the wrong direction when it comes to how the Tongass National Forest should be managed,” said Tim Bristol, director of Trout Unlimited’s Alaska Program. “It’s clear that the majority of Southeast Alaskans and Americans in general are not interested in returning to a.... http://www.sitnews.us/0613News/062813/062813_timber_harvest.html

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A Steller sea lion pup born at the Alaska SeaLife Center holds an important distinction. It's the first such pup born in captivity on this continent in decades, said the center's president, Tara Riemer Jones. "This is the first time since the 1980s that there's been a Steller sea lion birth in North America, so we're totally thrilled," she said. The pup, which probably won't be named for........ http://www.newsminer.com/news/alaska_news/steller-sea-lion-has-first-captive-birth-in-years/article_661650a6-e11c-11e2-872e-0019bb30f31a.html
