Rorshok Arctic Feb 24

11) Alaska's iconic crab fisheries were shut down after marine heatwaves wiped out an estimated 10 BILLION snow crabs in a single year. Warmer Bering Sea waters likely boosted crab metabolism beyond what food supplies could sustain, triggering one of the most dramatic fishery collapses in history and devastating coastal communities and a billion-dollar industry.

Sometimes there's a kind of magic seeing people pursue their joy.
Sometimes I think they're crazy, in a mostly positive way.

I don't surf.
Don't plan on surfing.
Don't really get it.
Can recognize that they really get it and that's a joy in itself to see.

Surfing in the Bering Sea. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!🥶 🏄

White House plans for #Alaska #OilAndGas face hurdles – including from Trump and the industry

President Donald Trump says he wants to grow oil and gas production and advance the goal of what he calls U.S. 'energy dominance'

The Conversation
Apr 24, 2025

Excerpt: "In one of his first executive orders after retaking office on Jan. 20, 2025, Trump declared that the U.S. would develop Alaska’s #petroleum resources 'to the fullest extent possible.'

"The Biden administration had banned oil leasing in three areas of Alaska. One was all but 400,000 acres in the coastal plain portion of the #ArcticNationalWildlifeRefuge. Another was a 13-million-acre swath of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, a massive parcel of federal land west of the refuge. The third area was 44 million acres of the offshore coastal portion of the northern #BeringSea, based on concerns for #TribalRights and the #MigrationRoutes of #MarineMammals.

"Trump moved quickly to reverse all these bans, describing them as an 'assault on Alaska’s sovereignty and its ability to responsibly develop (its) resources for the benefit of the Nation.' And Trump went farther, expanding the available land by an additional 6 million acres in the petroleum reserve and another 1.1 million acres of the wildlife refuge.

"All those areas are home to many different types of wildlife, as well as Indigenous groups."
