The article is excellent, however there are still one or two mistakes like beginning Capital with a 'K' very Deutsch. The use of 'ist for is a slip of the pen. It is better to say that"surrounding Alaska are seas where fishing is excellent"
Since Alaska is a country it cannot contain a sea, in the fullest sense. It is incorrect to say"you can go fishing there very well".
Apart from that, great work.
Were you ever in England on student language courses? I feel as though I recognise the work.

I will give this a try in German. Hopefully I will not get my answer flagged and erased. (I thought it would be easier for you to understand in German and I could use the practice).
Ich hatte nicht Deutsches in einer langen Zeit gesprochen.
ich wohnte in Alaska. Das grammer in Ihrem Versuch war “OK”.
In der Linie “The kapital city is Juneau“ wenn seien Sie “The capital city is Juneau”
In der Linie “In Gernamy, there about 280 people per square kilometer“ wenn seien Sie “In Germany…” (Deutchland ist fehlbuchstabiert auf englisch)
In der Linie “That ist 700 hundred “ wenn seien Sie “That is 700 hundred” (is, nicht ist)
Becharof, Iliamna, und Ugashik sind Seen (lakes auf englisch), nicht Meere (seas). Ich habe nicht Nakmet gehört
Ich würde das letzte sentance in zwei sentances bilden (Es klingt wie Prudhoe geschah im 19. Jahrhundert)
