Comment from Robert W. Mathews - President of the Alaska Outdoor Council

Summary: The Alaska Outdoor Council, a statewide conservation organization, opposes the current federal subsistence management structure, arguing that it creates unnecessary bureaucracy, duplicates state-level management, and discriminates against non-federally qualified users. They call for the dissolution of the Federal Subsistence Board (FSB) and the Regional Advisory Councils (RACs), requesting that the federal government instead rely on state-led management and data-driven science.
