| Description | Databases on fishery, oceanography, marine mammal, and environmental research compiled by Alaska Center scientists are used to develop policies and strategies for fisheries management within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone, to monitor and manage the health of the region's marine mammal populations, and to assess the impacts of chemical contaminants and physical alterations on select organisms and marine habitats. The data, some dating back nearly 100 years, are obtained from boat surveys, aerial surveys, land counts, stream and beach surveys, and other miscellaneous sources. These databases are available for downloading from the AFSC website or from database managers at the Alaska Center. |
