Summary
In this Article, the Author explores the attempts made by the State of Alaska to implement various regulations on National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) lands in the state, examining the conflict between the State's Intensive Management System and the mission of the NWRS, which is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a federal agency. The Author discusses the concept of preemption generally and concludes that actions undertaken by Alaska's Intensive Management System are in direct conflict with the federal mandates of the NWRS, and thus the State's actions should be preempted.
