The 68th annual Seward Salmon Derby is in full swing this week. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities unveiled a newly extended Purple Heart Trail on August 7. Just south of Kenai, a neighborhood separated from Cook Inlet by the highway has struggled with surface and groundwater flooding for over a decade. According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, set gillnetting in the northern district of the Upper Cook Inlet will close tomorrow from 7 a.m. to 7p.m. Fishing for salmon has been slow in Resurrection Bay and the North Gulf Coast, but other fish have been good.
