Alaska seeks Supreme Court review over federal fishing rules on state-claimed waters, citing sovereignty and conservation.
Alaska is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve a dispute over whether the federal government can regulate fishing in navigable waters within federal lands, arguing that state law, not federal, should govern such waters.
The state contends that recent Supreme Court rulings support its authority, while the 9th Circuit upheld a two-tiered subsistence system favoring rural Alaskans.
The conflict stems from differing interpretations of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act and the federal reserved water rights doctrine, with Alaska claiming federal overreach undermines conservation and equitable access.
The case centers on the Kuskokwim River and broader jurisdictional tensions between state and federal control over natural resources.
