OPINION
MINGE, Judge*
In this pre-enforcement declaratory judgment challenge to an administrative rule regulating fishing on Mille Lacs Lake, petitioners assert that the rule is invalid because: (1) the administrative record does not reference or discuss the relevance of article XIII, section 12, of the Minnesota Constitution (the Preservation Provision) or the public-trust doctrine, and (2) the rule is beyond the authority of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (the DNR) under Minn.Stat. § 14.69 (2014). We declare the rule valid against these challenges.
