16 U.S.C. § 410hh–4 — Commercial fishing
submitted 46 years ago by Pub. L. 96-487 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 118 words · no verdicts yet
In three specific areas — Cape Krusenstern National Monument, part of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve, and part of Glacier Bay National Preserve — the Secretary generally cannot restrict existing, valid commercial fishing rights or related use of campsites, cabins, vehicles, and aircraft landings. This protection does not cover activities that a public hearing shows have significantly grown beyond 1979 levels.
With respect to the Cape Krusenstern National Monument, the Malaspina Glacier Forelands area of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve and the Dry Bay area of Glacier Bay National Preserve, the Secretary may take no action to restrict unreasonably the exercise of valid commercial fishing rights or privileges obtained pursuant to existing law, including the use of public lands for campsites, cabins, motorized vehicles, and aircraft landings on existing airstrips, directly incident to the exercise of such rights or privileges except that this prohibition shall not apply to activities which the Secretary, after conducting a public hearing in the affected locality, finds constitute a significant expansion of the use of park lands beyond the level of such use during 1979.
