Chukchi Sea Town Of Shishmaref, Alaska Concerned Over Gov't Approval Of Exploratory Oil Drilling

SHISHMAREF, AK - JULY 09: Cliff Weyiouanna relaxes at his home after breakfast on July 9, 2015 in Shishmaref, Alaska. Earlier this year the Obama administration approved Shell Oil to begin drilling for oil in Arctic regions, including the Chukchi sea. Shishmaref has also had to build a seawall due to a decades-long problem with coastal erosion that has shrunk the size of the barrier island the town is built upon. The town was originally supposed to be relocated to a new site, though that plan has been put on hold. (Photo by Andrew Burton/Getty Images)
