Participants in Alaska commercial fisheries are required to report the statistical area where their harvest occurs. In combination with reports on the harvest species, poundage and etc., these data are useful to analyze and visualize spatial patterns in harvest. This data set defines the current valid statistical areas that may be used on ADF&G fish tickets for salmon and miscellaneous finfish. This data set should NOT be used for navigation or for determining compliance with ADF&G Commercial Fishing Regulations. Please consult the ADF&G Commercial Fisheries Regulations for the official definitions of regulatory boundaries.
NOTE: These data attempt to depict statistical area boundaries as used for management during a specific time period. In some cases, statistical area boundaries used in practice may differ from those described in regulations, reports, maps, and other aids. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This metadata report applies to the ADF&G Salmon Statistical Areas for the Upper Cook Inlet Area. Statistical areas are polygons that divide the waters of the State of Alaska and the adjacent Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) into small units for the purpose of reporting and analyzing fishery harvest. Each statistical area is identified by a unique 5-digit number. Salmon statistical areas can be divided by lines defined in ADF&G regulations, and further subdivided based on prominent landmarks or points of land. All regulatory lines were originally referenced to the NAD83 datum and later projected to the WGS84 datum in this feature class. If you need to compare to current statistical areas, you will need to refer to other versions of the salmon statistical areas. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">THE STATE OF ALASKA, DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME, MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS) WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCURACY, CHARACTER, FUNCTION, OR CAPABILITIES OF THE DATA, SERVICES, OR PRODUCTS OR THEIR APPROPRIATENESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">The Department of Fish and Game is not liable for any direct, incidental, indirect, special, compensatory, consequential or other damages suffered by the user or any other person or entity from the use of or failure of the data, services, or products even if the Department of Fish and Game has been advised of the possibility of such potential loss or damage.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">The entire risk as to the results of the use of the data, services, or products is assumed by the user.
