Backyard Buoys, a project that has put real-time ocean data in the hands of Arctic whalers, will soon be making its way to the mouth of the Kuskokwim River.

Troopers said they were notified in the early morning hours of March 30 that 27-year-old Peter Joseph had passed away from his injuries after an accident that occurred near the coastal village of Kongiganak.
