## Resource

Glaciers are collapsing worldwide, with deadly Himalayan floods sparking alarm—and Alaska’s own glacial risks are now front and center. In Juneau, tensions rise as the state approves a controversial road to the New Amalga mine, while the federal government eyes rolling back the Roadless Rule to open up forests like the Tongass for development. Residents have until September 21 to weigh in. Meanwhile, the Army Corps of Engineers is holding a “Shark Tank”-style bidding process to drain Suicide Basin and prevent catastrophic glacial outburst floods—though recent floods were less severe than feared. A local contractor faces a $350,000 fine for Clean Water Act violations, and in Glacier Bay, a humpback whale sank a sailboat—but everyone survived. Now, a new training class is being developed to teach mariners how to avoid deadly ship strikes. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
