The @PWSRCAC and regional partners deployed two new weather buoys in Port #Valdez to environmental factors in the vicinity of the @AlyeskaPipeline terminal which may affect the ability to prevent, respond to, contain, and clean up an #oil spill. ow.ly/zY7550uslip

From my home library, I put together a “new to Alaska” reading starter kit for anyone who might be missing the big picture, small details, and important people about how our state works. Any suggestions to add? #akleg – at Anchorage, AK

Ahoy Valdez! Last snowy Sunday, the @EdisonChouestAK escort tug, COMMANDER, arrived in Port Valdez with OSRB-1 barge in tow and the general purpose tug ELRINGTON nearby. They were welcomed by Alyeska and ECO employees and their families, who watched from Kelsey Dock. #TAPSPride
Exxon Valdez, 25 years later: Even long after it's over, the effects of an oil spill can linger--damaging habitats, injuring fish & wildlife
