FWS Will Enforce
Waterfowl Law
•JUNEAU UP> — The U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service served notice to
day that it would enforce migra
tory wartefowl regulations through
out Alaska during the closed sea
son this spring and summer.
“Apparently because of the in
cidents which occurred last year,
we have had a number of inquiries
on whether or not the waterfowl
regulations would be enforced,”
Urban Nelson, Regional Director of
the Bureau of Sports Fisheries and
Wildlife, said.
“The management of waterfowl
in North America is in conform
ance with treaties between the
United States, Canada and Mexico
which prescribe a closed season to
the taking of migratory game birds
between the dates of March 20 and
September 1.
“The bureau has no alternative
ocher than to enforce the regula
tions for which it is responsible.”
Last summer Alaska natives
made an issue of the taking of
migratory waterfowl for food on
grounds of ancient tribal rights.
In May, Barrow Eskimos deli
berately shot 138 eider ducks and
presented them to agents of the
Fish and Wildlife Service to press
their protest of the federal regu
lations. j
Later the U.S. Department of |
Justice declined to prosecute the
Eskimos, expressing the hope that
“the Eskimo people, having achiev
ed national recognition of their
difficulty, will rely in the future
on the legislative process, rather
than the international violation of
federal laws.”
