Federal managers say that they’re not sure how the state-issued opener will be enforced. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) declared a driftnet opening in the lower Kuskokwim River for this coming Monday, June 28, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
But before the summer fishing season began, the Yukon-Delta National Wildlife Refuge declared federal management of the lower Kuskokwim River salmon fishery. They did so under ANILCA, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, to help conserve king salmon.

The news was first reported by Politico yesterday afternoon.
The Trump administration sold and issued the leases on a needlessly rapid schedule, without adequate review of public input or environmental impacts, and those leases are now being challenged in court through multiple lawsuits. Plaintiffs include numerous environmental organizations; a coalition of 15 states alleging violations of multiple federal laws; and the Gwich’in Steering Committee, an Indigenous-led organization dedicated to preserv
