AGP Executive Report
Last update: a few seconds agoAlaska Fisheries & Wildlife: A new push to “expand” hunting and fishing access on Interior lands is drawing fire from hunters and anglers, who say the so-called wins are mostly minor changes while federal cuts and policy rollbacks keep squeezing their bread-and-butter. Marine Debris: Ocean Conservancy is applauding Gov. Dunleavy’s signing of SJR20, a bipartisan resolution backing federal and local efforts to clean up Alaska’s marine debris, citing massive removals of derelict gear and storm trash. State Environment Policy: Dunleavy signed HB 73 to create “Complex Care Residential Homes” for people with severe behavioral and medical needs, while vetoing HB 25, a polystyrene foam takeout ban—prompting disappointment from Alaska Environment advocates. Mining & Energy: A mid-year update from GoldMining highlights Alaska’s Whistler project with a base-case after-tax NPV of $2.0B, while separate commentary argues Alaska’s LNG future is stuck on ballooning costs and demands for major tax breaks. Public Lands & Water: Alaska’s proposed changes to instream flow reservation rules are being debated as a way to better protect salmon streams from low water and warming.
