Expand Dutch Harbor study to address coastal risks

Begich supported expanding the Army Corps’ existing navigation feasibility study for Unalaska and Dutch Harbor to include coastal storm risk management and shoreline erosion protection. This adds those coastal risks to the study’s scope; it does not itself authorize construction of protective works.

Context: The bill had passed the House; the source does not establish that it became law.
