- Wildlife Tours and Viewing: The state's abundant wildlife, including bears, moose, and whales, attracts tourists eager for wildlife tours and viewing opportunities. Unfortunately, these encounters can sometimes lead to unexpected accidents.
- Boating and Cruise Ship Incidents: With Alaska's extensive coastline and numerous water bodies, boating accidents, including incidents involving cruise ships, have been reported.
