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 groundfish. This data set should NOT be used for navigation or for determining compliance with ADF&G Commercial Fishing Regulations. Please consult the ADF&G Groundfish 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 STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN>This metadata report applies to the 2001 ADF&G Groundfish Statistical Areas. 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 6-digit number. Groundfish statistical areas are based on a grid that measures one-half degree latitude by one degree of longitude and can be divided by lines defined in ADF&G regulations, and further subdivided based on prominent landmarks or points of land. All lines are referenced to the NAD83 datum. This revised version of the groundfish statistical areas became effective January 1, 2001. Many statistical areas were changed or subdivided to better match state and federal fishery areas. In these cases, the previous statistical area codes were retired and the revised statistical areas were assigned new numbers. If you need to compare to retired statistical areas, you will need to refer to previous versions of the groundfish statistical areas. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN /><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN>This project received funding under award NA15NMF4270272 from NOAA Fisheries Service, in cooperation with the Saltonstall-Kennedy Grant Program.
