Petty Officer 2nd Class Garrett Hill, a marine science technician assigned to U.S. Coast Guard Sector Western Alaska and U.S. Arctic, gestures toward a barge and a damaged fence surrounding several large oil tanks in St. Michael, Alaska, Oct. 16, 2025. Hill explained that the barge’s proximity to the tanks poses a risk, and that another storm could push it into the tanks, potentially causing an oil spill.
