"Indiscriminate firings" at NOAA Fisheries (with more likely to come) risk undermining science that supports Alaska fisheries. My story for @AlaskaBeacon

At a perilous time for Alaska commercial fisheries, this story investigates what went wrong with the Peter Pan deal. The reporting results from a strong partnership formed by ⁦⁦⁦@propublica⁩ , ⁦@adndotcom⁩ and ⁦@Northernjournal⁩.

Early trouble in a volatile election

Great to see The Seattle Times pick up this story that ran as part of a package for @adndotcom and @insideclimate looking at efforts to develop clean power in Alaska.

This is the second part of my two-day look at efforts to develop renewable power in Alaska in collaboration with @insideclimate and @adndotcom

For decades, Alaska's North Slope has supplied the nation with oil --- could the geology in parts of the state yield naturally occurring hydrogen? This is part of a joint publication by @adndotcom and @insideclimate

In the warming world of the 21st century, can Alaska's massive renewable power resources redefine the state's energy industry? Part one of two parts jointly published by @adndotcom and @insideclimate

In Portland where I live, homelessness has emerged as a defining crisis of the decade. In this story for @wweek, I take a look at the city’s first large temporary shelter site run under contract by Urban Alchemy.

Russian salmon, cod, pollock and crab processed in China will be targeted in the expanded sanctions.

"the constitutional bell has been rung"

Most of the pollock processed in China comes from Russia, which can not export fish directly to the US due to sanctions. The Outlaw Ocean Project investigation has found that some of that work is done by the forced labor of Uyghurs.

I had the very good fortune to work at @adndotcom when Howard led the newspaper, There are few people who have made such a difference in my life and I mourn his passing. "Write hard -- die free," Howard made us all pins with that motto.

Should the government start killing off one owl species to save another? @LyndaVMapes delves into the question in this excellent report.

Genetic analysis is confirming that the killer whales that died in trawl nets off Alaska this year were part of a fish-eating group of residents in the Bering Sea. Those that biologists were able to sex were all females.

Signs of strangulation yet one of these deaths ruled a suicide. Deep disturbing reporting @kylehopkinsAK for the @adndotcom and @propublica //www.adn.com/alaska-news/crime-courts/2023/11/11/one-woman-died-on-an-alaska-mayors-property-then-another-no-one-has-ever-been-charged/

This is one powerful interview from @ByMikeBaker

The salmon bycatch in North America’s biggest volume fishery has contributed to gathering tensions over federal fishery regulation off Alaska. ⁦@seattletimes⁩ publishes our story that first appeared in ⁦@adndotcom⁩

The second part of this series supported by @pulitzercenter ran in @adndotcom on Sunday. For those who missed part one, here's a link.

The conflicts over North Pacific trawling are sometimes framed as pitting Seattle-controlled fleets against Alaskans. But the rise of western Alaska non profits -vested with harvest shares by federal action -- has changed things. Part two of our series.
