Description: <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.

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&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&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&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&G Commercial Fishing Regulations. Please consult the ADF&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>
