Fishery Data and McNeil River Refuge
An Act relating to the release of certain records and reports required by the Department of Fish and Game regarding fish, shellfish, or fishery products and reports of fish buyers and processors; relating to the transfer of certain land within the McNeil River State Game Refuge and McNeil River State Game Sanctuary to the state; and providing for an effective date.
Updated: May 8, 1999
Senate Bill 171 was introduced at the request of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). SB 171 amends AS 16.05.815 to allow the ADF&G to share records documenting commercial fishery landings, fish buying and processing activities within Alaska. These amendments allow transfer of this information to the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission (CFEC), Alaska Fisheries Information Network (AKFIN), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
In addition, provisions included in the bill would ensure that state selected land within the McNeil River Wildlife refuge be free of encumbrance or unauthorized use at time of transfer.
