The purpose of Alaska Stat. § 41.21.150 – 41.21.153 is to restrict state-owned land and water described in Alaska Stat. § 41.21.151, except as provided in Alaska Stat. § 41.21.153, to use as a state park. Under Alaska Stat. § 38.05.300, state land, water, or land and water containing more than 640 acres may be closed to multiple use only by act of the legislature. Because the area described in Alaska Stat. § 41.21.151 exceeds 640 acres, Alaska Stat. § 41.21.150 – 41.21.153 are intended to provide for the closing of the land and water described in Alaska Stat. § 41.21.151, as that description is modified by Alaska Stat. § 41.21.153, to multiple use in conformity with Alaska Stat. § 38.05.300 and its designation as a special purpose area in accord with art. VIII, sec. 7 of the Constitution of the State of Alaska.
