Background The marine ecosystems off Alaska’s coast support a diverse natural environment and a multiplicity of human activities. With national initiatives calling for more systematic collaboration on ocean-related matters, the establishment of the Alaska Marine Ecosystem Forum (AMEF) brings together Alaska’s Federal and State agencies as well as the North Pacific Fishery Management Council to address issues of shared responsibilities related to the marine ecosystems off Alaska’s coast. The AMEF promotes the collective aim of Federal and State agencies and the North Pacific Fishery Management Council to achieve sustainable management and use of Alaska’s marine ecosystems in the most effective and efficient manner, consistent with the missions of those agencies.

    Analysis of Laws Governing Access Across Federal Lands: Options for Access in Alaska

    Analysis of Laws Governing Access Across Federal Lands: Options for Access in Alaska February 1979 NTIS order #PB-293982 Library of Congress Card Catalog Number 79-600029 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402 Stock No. 052-003-00647-2 Foreword This analysis was conducted in response to a request from the Tech- nology Assessment Board that the Office of Technology Assessment [OTA) examine the effects of Federal laws, policies, and practices on ac- cess through Federal lands to non-Federal mineral-bearing lands. The report analyzes the laws governing Federal land management systems, the laws specifically applicable to Alaskan lands, and the major environ- mental and land-planning laws that affect access across Federal land management systems. Prior to Alaska statehood, the Federal Government owned over 99 percent of the land in the State. The Alaska Statehood Act and the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act provide for conveyance of about 40 percent of the land to the State and to Native Regional and Village Corporations. Congressional intent, expressed at the time of passage of these Acts, was to provide land and resources, including minerals, to create an economic base for these non-Federal parties. Following conveyance of State and Native lands, 60 percent of Alaska will remain in Federal ownership. These Federal lands will be managed by a number of different agencies under provisions of several laws. Access is a legal right to use certain lands for a specific purpose and access across Federal to State, Native, and privately held lands is a prominent issue for several reasons.

There’s so much wildlife richness—from breaching and bubble-netting whales to foraging bears, soaring bald eagles, and frolicking otters. Witnessing these majestic animals up-close and in their element is just one of the myriad reasons we have been drawn to exploring Alaska for over 35 years, and why you might want to consider joining us there next year. The 2019 season will be particularly exciting as we proudly welcome the brand-new National Geographic Venture to our fleet. Venture will join her sister ship National Geographic Quest in Alaska, along with our beloved National Geographic Sea Bird and National Geographic Sea Lion. Like Quest, Venture’s bow has been uniquely designed to provide for unobstructed wildlife viewing so you won’t miss a moment in this magnificent landscape. Plus, an expansive observation deck one level up provides a unique perspective of the surrounding scenery and plenty of space for you to linger and take it all in. And all of our ships feature shallow drafts that let them sail deep into this authentic wilderness—along coastal waters and into shallow coves and narrow channels where abundant wildlife congregates.
