The Alaska Centers are interagency visitor centers authorized in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The centers serve the public on behalf of nine federal and state agencies that manage public lands in Alaska. Each land unit is managed according to the mission of the regulating agency and its enabling legislation.
