October 15, 2025 — The Alaska Supreme Court has ruled that a lower court acted correctly in dismissing an Alaska resident’s challenge to the state’s salmon management, noting that the lawsuit did not actually challenge any government action.
“He did not challenge any specific policy, regulation, or action by the state,” the Alaska Supreme Court said in its opinion. “The superior court ruled the claims were nonjusticiable and dismissed the suit for failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted. We affirm the superior court’s ruling that the resident failed to state a justiciable claim.”
