the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday
the federal government doesn't get the manage in-holdings
including navigable waters in any of the conservation units in Alaska.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The National Park Service improperly banned an Alaska moose hunter from using a hovercraft on a river through a national preserve, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a unanimous decision.The court limited the National Park Service's authority to enforce laws and regulations on state-owned rivers in Alaska. Justices rejected the agency's argument that the river was "public land" for regulatory authority and that the agency's water rights interest gave it rule-making authority.
The outcome was a victory for moose hunter John Sturgeon of Anchorage, who had sued and lost in lower court rulings.
"We reverse the decision below and wish Sturgeon good hunting,
" Justice Elena Kagan said in reading a summary of the decision.
Sturgeon called it "a huge win for Alaska."
