Decades after commercial fishing limits gutted Native fishing fleets, advocates call for change
A half-century ago, Angoon’s harbor was packed with small, family-operated fishing vessels. Salmon and halibut fed mouths and bank accounts. Peter Duncan, Mayor of Angoon, remembers those days. But it’s not the same anymore. Fisheries limitation regulations have caused “devastating changes,” he said. “You just don’t find a troller in our harbors anymore.” That’s caused his village to depend more on government assistance programs, including food stamps, he said.

Protecting Yourself From Volcanic Eruptions
MARCH 17, 2025 – Alaska is home to numerous active volcanoes, and while they do not erupt frequently, history shows that when they do, they can send volcanic ash clouds across the state. The last significant eruptions in the region occurred in 1953 and 1992, both of which produced explosive ash clouds that traveled hundreds of miles and deposited up to 1/4 inch of ash on nearby communities. These eruptions temporarily disrupted air travel, impacted visibility, and required residents to take precautions against falling ash.
