Does Alaska Own the Marine Submerged Lands in Southeast Alaska That Are Currently Claimed by the United States?
State of Alaska v. United States Docket No. 128, Original From: Original Jurisdiction Case at a Glance Under the Equal Footing doctrine, all new states entering the union retained title to certain lands, including submerged lands underlying inland navigable waters. However, at statehood, the federal government could prevent title for certain submerged lands from passing to the state. In this case, the Supreme Court will determine whether Alaska holds title to marine submerged lands in Southeast Alaska, including those within Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. • Previewed by Marisa Martin, a staff attorney at the Wyoming Outdoor Council in Lander, Wyoming.
