    SeaWorld LLC has applied for a permit to conduct research on a non-releasable beluga whale named Tyonek, from the endangered Cook Inlet population. The permit, under review by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), would allow studying the whale's behavior and providing care at SeaWorld of Texas. Tyonek, stranded as a baby and deemed non-releasable, will be part of educational programs to inform the public about the beluga’s endangered status. The permit request includes potential transport of Tyonek for socialization or care needs and is intended for a five-year period.

    Simple Explanation

    SeaWorld wants to take care of a beluga whale named Tyonek, who can't go back to the ocean because he was found alone and too young. They're asking for permission to study him and teach people about his kind, which needs help to stay safe.

    The Department of Education is announcing the availability of grants for the fiscal year 2021 to support programs for American Indian and Alaska Native students through the Office of Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies. These grants aim to help local educational agencies and Indian organizations create educational programs that meet the cultural and academic needs of these students. Applications for the grants will be submitted through a two-part electronic system, with strict deadlines for each part. The program does not require cost sharing and is designed to supplement existing educational funding.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Education is giving out money to help schools teach Native American kids better, but you have to ask for it online, and there are lots of rules to follow. It's a bit like a treasure hunt where there are different maps for small and big treasures, and even though anyone can play, it might be easier if you've played before or have friends who know the rules well.
