12 April 2015: Pacific Spaceport Complex Puts Plastic Fence Back Up Rather Than Remove It From Beach

Good (?) news: AK Aerospace re-erected the plastic fencing on the beach near the Kodiak Launch Complex - it seems pointless since AAC stated that all the hazardous material has been cleaned up and you can just walk around the end of the fence anyway. All that needless orange plastic fencing along the highway is unsightly and restricting public access.Here are photos and video KRLIG shot on Sunday.

05 April 2015: Alaska Aerospace Trashes Ocean Beaches at Narrow Cape

According to an article published in The Alaska Dispatch on April 2, 2015, "Alaska Aerospace Corp. officials say the cleanup of hazardous materials from a rocket explosion last year has been completed at the Kodiak Launch Complex."
Unfortunately, their containment fences have not been removed and are trashing the ocean beaches at Narrow Cape with a huge amount of plastic debris.  Since no launches are currently scheduled, perhaps KLC employees could remove this unsightly, dangerous plastic debris before any more of it is washed into the ocean and causes marine mammal, fish, and bird fatalities.
