The Coast Guard, Alaska Wildlife Troopers and Alaska State Troopers, along with other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies are conducting Operation Dry Water throughout Alaska, Thursday through Sunday.
Operation Dry Water is a national campaign focused on reducing the number of alcohol and drug-related accidents and fatalities and fostering a stronger, more visible deterrent to alcohol and drug use on the water.
