Lisa Murkowski backed a bipartisan bill to expand NOAA fisheries work using environmental DNA (eDNA) and other aquatic “bimolecular” tools to improve stock assessments and monitoring. Salmon Boat Fire Probe: The NTSB said an Aug. 2024 Nushagak Bay fishing-vessel fire that sank the Sub Zero may have involved a hydraulic system failure, though the cause couldn’t be pinned down because the boat burned to the waterline. Bear-Viewing Recovery: The Fish Creek Wildlife Observation Site near Hyder reopened after July flooding damage, but with limited daily capacity and a reduced viewing platform.
