Nonprofit aims to connect marine businesses, investors January 29th |
New ocean-related jobs, investments and opportunities will be seeded by an ambitious Blue Pipeline Venture Studio that connects marine business entrepreneurs with the technology, contacts and finances they need to grow.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska An emergency order mandating the use of masks in response to the coronavirus pandemic could be turned into city code by the Anchorage Assembly.
Assembly members were expected to introduce ordinances Tuesday that could change mayoral emergency orders into local law, including a requirement for masks to be worn within indoor public places, Anchorage Daily News reported.
A mask ordinance would move the matter out of the control of the mayor’s office, regardless of whether the measure has the mayor’s support. A new mayor is expected to be chosen during the April 6 election and take office July 1.

Print article Some emergency orders put in place by the Anchorage mayor to address the coronavirus pandemic may be turned into city code by the Assembly, including the city’s mask mandate. Several Anchorage Assembly members on Tuesday will introduce ordinances that, if passed, would change four existing emergency orders into citywide ordinances, including the requirement that individuals wear masks while in indoor public places and allowing businesses to give out plastic bags. The ordinance would take the matter out of the hands of the Anchorage mayor’s office, regardless of the mayor’s support for masks. A new mayor will be chosen during the upcoming election on April 6, and take the office on July 1.
