JUNEAU, Alaska - As part of an effort to assert state ownership of submerged lands, Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s administration has sentto the U.S. Forest Service, stating that motorized boats are currently allowed on Mendenhall Lake and River.
“We’re hoping it doesn’t happen, but we’re prepared to intervene when our Alaskan citizens are wronged by certain federal agencies or agents,” Dunleavy said. John Sturgeon, who mounted a successful 15-year legal challenge to use his hovercraft to hunt moose in the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, stood alongside the governor during Tuesday’s press conference. He said “absolutely nothing” had changed in terms of the federal government recognizing state ownership of submerged lands since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in his favor three years ago.
