## Resource

The Biden administration is poised to open nearly all of Alaska’s coastal waters to offshore drilling — a move that threatens marine ecosystems, Indigenous communities, and the state’s vital fishing industry. With just four safety officials overseeing rigs across a coastline longer than the rest of the U.S., and brutal weather conditions making spills nearly impossible to contain, the risks are staggering. Winter spills would freeze oil into lethal traps for marine mammals, while distant Coast Guard bases and minimal infrastructure mean disaster response is nearly impossible. Now’s the chance to act: a 90-day public comment period could still save Alaska’s waters — don’t miss your voice.
