• NOAA Seeks Comment on Seward Dock Permit Covering 298 Marine Mammal Harassment Events (natureworldnews.com) — Work at Seward's cruise ship passenger dock may continue under a renewed NOAA permit that allows limited underwater construction noise affecting whales, sea lions, and seals through 2027. Residents, boaters, and tour operators in Resurrection Bay can expect monitoring, occasional work stoppages, but no bay closures, and they have until September 23 to email comments on the proposal.
• Climb out of the forest near Seward and you'll hit 700 square miles of ice (wheninyourstate.com) — If you're in Seward, this piece walks you step-by-step up the Harding Icefield Trail, starting in the green valley just outside town and climbing to sweeping glacier views. It explains distance, elevation, easier turnaround points, and wildlife you might encounter, plus shorter accessible options near Exit Glacier for families or less strenuous outings.
• Alaska trawlers roil the waters of U.S. Senate election (publicnewsservice.org) — Debate over bottom trawling and bycatch in Alaska's fisheries is shaping the current U.S. Senate race, and a Seward lodge owner is among those urging stronger protections for ocean health. Candidates Dan Sullivan and Mary Peltola both tout plans to curb bycatch, while advocates argue that trawling threatens salmon, local economies, and small tourism businesses like those in Seward.
