Abstract

This Part of Title 50 provides for the proper use and management of all Alaska National Wildlife Refuges and supplements the general National Wildlife Refuge System regulations. This part shall apply only to federally-owned lands within the boundaries of any Alaska National Wildlife Refuge. § 36.11 lays down regulations regarding the customary and traditional uses by rural Alaska residents of wild, renewable resources for direct personal or family consumption as food, shelter, fuel, clothing, tools, or transportation. Consistent with sound management principles and the conservation of healthy populations of fish and wildlife, the utilization of Alaska National Wildlife Refuges is to cause the least adverse impact possible on local rural residents who depend upon subsistence uses of the resources of the public lands in Alaska.
