The state’s Department of Natural Resources has issued another preliminary decision on transferring state land to the Petersburg borough.
Petersburg is entitled to a total of over 14-thousand acres of state land with the formation of the borough in 2013 and legislation in 2017 that boosted that entitlement. It’s most of the undesignated state land within the borough boundaries.
The state is going through the process of identifying which lands it will approve for transfer and which will remain in state ownership.

Print article The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently took up a regulatory change in Kachemak Bay (Intent to Adopt version of Kachemak Bay State Park Management Plan) that would eliminate operations at the Tutka Bay Lagoon Hatchery. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game founded this hatchery and then operated it from 1975–1991. Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association (CIAA), a nonprofit regional aquaculture association, assumed operations in 1991. After 45 years in operation and 30 years under CIAA, we know a lot about Tutka’s impacts on the people who call Southcentral Alaska home.
