- Title
Subsistence Fisheries Management on Federal Public Lands in Alaska.
- Authors
Buklis, Lawrence S.
- Abstract
On 1 October 1999, the federal government assumed responsibility for subsistence fisheries management in inland navigable waters on federal public lands in Alaska, which comprise 60% of the state. Such responsibility in non-navigable waters on federal public lands was established in 1990. Often described as a 'federal takeover' in the media, confusion continues as to authorities and jurisdictions in the resulting dual management system. Historical considerations leading up to federal management are briefly highlighted, and the current federal regulatory and management system is described. The federal program has contributed to the development of improved approaches for subsistence fisheries management in Alaska, and these developments should continue, regardless of how the legal and political aspects of the current situation are resolved.
