Extractions: If the wilds of coastal Alaska seem a little tame for you, head west to Unalaska. Set in the heart of the 1,000-mile-long Aleutian chain, this rugged outpost was a Russian fur trade outpost in the 18th century and a U.S. military stronghold in WWII. Today its home to Alaskas largest commercial fishing fleet. Nearly all of the islands residents are tied to the fishing industry in the towns working port of Dutch Harbor, but visitors can hike amid fields of wildflowers, pick wild berries, go mountain biking, climb several volcanic peaks, kayak along wilderness coastlines (sea otters and whales are common), and explore a rugged, treeless landscape populated by millions of birds. There are more than 200 islands in the Aleutians chain, but only a handful are inhabited. Unalaska is one of the few with scheduled air service (in summer, Kodiak Island is a three-day ferry ride away), and the climate is cool (at best), windy (always), and wet (more drizzle than rain). But its also a gateway to the vast Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge that encompasses virtually the entire archipelago.

The BLM Website is an important aspect of customer service, and we take seriously our obligation to protect and ensure the integrity of our internal information systems and the online information we provide to our customers. Improving security in the short term will also allow the BLM to serve you better in the future. In addition, the BLM is currently involved in a court action in which the adequacy of information security is an issue. Failing to demonstrate adequate protections could result in a much longer-term, mandatory disconnection. As a consequence, it is imperative that all sites be properly secured and tested before being reconnected. Please log into the www.blm.gov

The BLM, an agency of the United States Department of the Interior, administers 261 million acres of America's public lands, which are located primarily in 12 western states. The BLM administers public lands in a manner that sustains the health, diversity, and productivity of these lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. BLM has partnered with ESRI to build a common planning data model and core land management tools for the BLM enterprise. The recently completed pilot project for the E-Gov for Planning and NEPA Project, also known as ePlanning, is being run by the Planning, Assessment and Community Support Group in the BLM's Washington, D.C., office; the BLM National Science and Technology Center in Denver, Colorado; and the BLM Alaska state office in Anchorage, Alaska. Geography is central to planning, and ePlanning makes geographic data available to anyone with a computer and an Internet connection. Two ESRI software programs, ArcIMS and ArcSDE, supply the tools for ePlanning that deliver planning information as fully integrated text combined with intelligent and interactive maps and map layers. The tools and technology supplied by ePlanning let planning teams create integrated documents easily. Related project goals include Providing a common look, feel, and functionality for BLM planning and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents through enterprise solutions
