"Alaska's fish and wildlife are rightly treasured by the hunters, boaters and anglers who make our state their home," said Geoffrey Haskett, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Alaska region director. "The sportfish and wildlife restoration programs, supported by the very people who benefit from the natural resources that these funds help maintain, will help assure that our state will be a bastion of outdoor recreation for generations."
Sport fish restoration is funded by excise taxes and import duties on sport fishing equipment and motorboat and small engine fuels as well as pleasure boats. About 62 percent of the wildlife restoration funds are used to buy, develop and maintain wildlife management areas.
