Seldovia Mayor Jeremiah Campbell said the community currently has just one police officer who’s on call 24/7 and also serves as chief of police for the community’s 400 year-round residents.

The Seldovia Bay Ferry is temporarily suspending its sailings until further notice.

According to an announcement on the ferry service’s website, the ferry has "unforeseen mechanical challenges".

The ferry service is issuing refunds for all canceled sailings, which may take longer than usual to process.

There is no set day when normal operations will resume, but the announcement states they expect repairs to take several weeks to complete.
