Lawsuit filed to block Dunleavy administration decision allowing personal watercraft in Kachemak Bay Share on Facebook Print article Four conservation groups have sued the state of Alaska in an attempt to restore a ban on personal watercraft, often called Jet Skis, in Kachemak Bay near Homer. The ban, in place since 2001, was rescinded Jan. 9 after a yearslong effort by personal watercraft users, including the Personal Watercraft Club of Alaska. “We had instant support for a lawsuit as soon as the official action was announced. We gathered enough funds, I think, in that week, to move forward,” said Penelope Haas of Kachemak Bay Conservation Society, one of the four groups that filed suit Tuesday.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A handful of environmental and advocacy groups sued the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and its commissioner, Doug Vincent-Lang, on Tuesday, claiming the department violated administrative procedure and the Alaska Constitution when Vincent-Lang repealed a ban this year that had kept personal watercraft out of critical habitat areas in Kachemak Bay. Fish and Game announced in December 2020 that the regulation barring personal watercraft, commonly known as jet skis, from the Kachemak Bay Critical Habitat Area and Fox River Flats Critical Habitat Area was being repealed. That regulation change went into effect in January of this year.

Dunleavy administration allows personal watercraft in Kachemak Bay

Dunleavy administration allows personal watercraft in Kachemak Bay Published December 14, 2020 Share on Facebook Print article Personal watercraft, commonly known as Jet Skis, will once again be allowed in Kachemak Bay and the Fox River Flats near Homer. Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer signed off last Thursday on the lifting of a 19-year-old ban on the small watercraft in the bay. It goes into effect Jan. 9. The decision was proposed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game last year after Jet Ski enthusiasts, mainly the Personal Watercraft Club of Alaska, lobbied state officials for years. The proposal was controversial and opposed by environmental groups that say state documents show personal watercraft are detrimental to marine life in the bay.
