Enforcement
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is pro-actively developing a comprehensive law enforcement strategy for the Kasilof River Special Use Area (KARSUA).
The adoption of the KARSUA regulations was the first step in creating management structure for the lower Kasilof River that will address the present and emerging management problems. These regulations are consistent with the management intent of this special use area. In order for these regulations to become enforceable, statutory authority must be granted by the Alaska Legislature and a Bail Forfeiture Schedule adopted by the Alaska Supreme Court. Once adopted and enforceable, non-criminal citations (similar to a traffic ticket) may be issued by designated Peace Officers of the state.
DNR encourages everyone enjoying state lands to act responsibly and adhere to area wide rules. If you witness a crime please call 911 to report the offense. Know your location, and be prepared to tell dispatch your name and contact information. Not knowing your exact location makes it difficult for dispatch to locate the crime scene. If the crime involves a vehicle try to get a license plate number, get a good description of the violator(s) (describe colors, make, model, clothes colors, hats, size, age, etc.). Safety first, never put yourself in harm's way to get information. If you feel like you're in danger then leave the scene immediately and find help.
