Coastal Caucus Formed to Advocate SE Issues

About 10 Alaska lawmakers have joined a new nationwide Caucus of Coastal State Legislators. The caucus was formed to address economic, resource and environmental issues, as well as respond to the Obama administration’s ocean-policy initiatives. Lawmakers from about 30 states bordering ocean waters and the Great Lakes have joined the group. Juneau Representative Beth Kerttula, a Democrat, is one of the main Alaskans involved in the effort.Ed Schoenfeld, CoastAlaska – JuneauDownload Audio (MP3)
