Layer: Commercial Fisheries Upper Cook Inlet Salmon Section (ID: 1)

Name: Commercial Fisheries Upper Cook Inlet Salmon Section

Display Field: REGISTRATION_AREA_NAME

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Alaska's commercial fisheries are managed using various regulatory areas (i.e., districts, sections, statistical areas, etc...). District, subdistrict, and section polygons are delineated based on regulatory descriptions found in 5 AAC 21.200 (Cook Inlet Area). Alaska Fish and Game Regulations as described in 5 AAC 21.200 (last electronic update 6/15/2024) covers the May 2024 through May 2027 or until a new book is available following the Board of Fisheries meetings.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Statistical areas are largely not defined in regulation, but internally defined within ADF&amp;G. Statistical areas included are used for salmon fisheries for reporting harvest within Upper Cook Inlet. 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. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Each statistical area is identified by a unique 5-digit number. Salmon statistical areas can be divided by lines defined in ADF&amp;G regulations, and further subdivided based on prominent landmarks or points of land. Each statistical area has a geometry start date attribute which ranges in this dataset for Southeast Alaska from 1963 to 2024. Over the years, there have been changes to statistical area shapes , codes, and names. If a statistical area is not included in this file, it may have been used historically and exist in another GIS file version. Please note spring troll statistical areas DO NOT use these statistical areas for recording harvest, but are separately defined each spring in an ADF&amp;G Advisory Announcement. Please contact the Troll Fishery Biologists for additional info on spring troll statistical areas.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This data set should NOT be used for navigation or for determining compliance with ADF&amp;G Commercial Fishing Regulations. Please consult the ADF&amp;G Salmon Commercial Fisheries Regulations for the official definitions of regulatory boundaries. NOTE: These data attempt to depict boundaries as used for management during a specific time period. In some cases, boundaries used in practice may differ from those described in regulations, reports, maps, and other aids.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Data last updated September 2024.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
