Supporting science programs here in Alaska benefits our company, our industry and our state.

I make use of the state’s dipnet permit, I support commercial fishing interests and I believe in subsistence rights. I am also a certified environmental regulation and permitting specialist, and based on this training, I cannot support the ballot measure.

OPINION: Alaska's Arctic waters are expected to be among the most heavily-regulated resource extraction areas in the world. The regulatory environment that's emerging now will have a major impact on what resources are developed in the future, and how.
