Hunting and fishing rules in Alaska's national parks revert to 30-year-old standards

The National Park Service is returning to rules for hunting and fishing in Alaskan preserves that were in place for over three decades. This reverses changes made since 2015 and gives the public more time to comment on the shift.

For over 30 years, specific rules governed hunting and fishing in Alaska's national preserves. Starting in 2015, these rules were changed. Now, the Interior Department is proposing to undo those changes and go back to the older regulations. This means activities that became restricted or prohibited since 2015 may become permissible again, depending on the final decision.
