AFSC Data and Tools: Overview
Data bases and tools on fishery, oceanography, marine mammal, and environmental
research compiled and designed by AFSC 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. Data bases
are available for downloading from the AFSC website or from database managers
at the Alaska Center.
Although we try to keep the information presented on the Alaska Fisheries Science
Center website accurate and up to date, the accuracy of some information is subject
to change and cannot be guaranteed. Data provided on our website are derived
from large data bases many of which are being updated and
modified. We request that users contact the web page content creator or the AFSC
webmaster before using any data from our website. Quality
Information Guidelines are available on the NOAA website.
