Visitors from around the world are drawn to the beauty of Southeast Alaska and they’re coming by cruise ship in record numbers each year. But it’s all at risk if we allow our waters to be polluted by cruise ships burning dirty fuel. Read more about our cleaner fuel campaign: https://bit.ly/4jwZ7fG).

The waters are murky when it comes to mining issues in Southeast Alaska. Learn more about the current happenings with Cascade Point and New Amalga Gold Mine in our new blog post (link in our bio or click here: bit.ly/3MQJovW).

The Cascade Point Ferry terminal remains an obsession for the Alaska Department of Transportation, regardless of the outpouring of folks in Southeast Alaska who oppose the project. According to a new article by the Alaska Beacon, legislators are joining in on the skepticism.

What do you think? Is this plan a good use of taxpayer money to support our ferries? Or is it more of a nightmare on a road to a really inconvenient and unwanted ferry terminal?

The scariest part of all? “Outside of mining, most other effects — including tourism, commuting, and general freight handling — are best described as redistributive rather than generative,” the report concludes.

“...That gain would be partially offset by a 7% increase in travel costs — mostly driving related — that would reduce overall ridership 1% to 2%, according to the analysis,” as reported by the Juneau Independent (Link in bio).

Ready to be scared CENTSLESS? This project is a bad deal for Southeast Alaskans. While the report claims an expected 18% reduction in travel time and a resulting 4-8% increase in ridership, a look at the expected costs to travelers paints a grimmer picture:

It’s spooky season, which means the ghouls and goblins are on the loose, the scary costumes are completed — and the Dunleavy administration has released a horrifying economic report for the proposed Cascade Point ferry terminal.

Ray was a passionate advocate and supporter of SEACC and always brought valuable insight to the organization.

He will be sorely missed.

It’s with great sadness that SEACC is sharing the passing of our beloved board member and friend, Geeneenéikh, Raymond “Ray” Sensmeier. Ray has served on the SEACC board representing his community of Yakutat since 2009.
