To understand the quantity and quality of nearshore habitat available along Alaska’s coastline we are currently using the ShoreZone system to map the coastline. This standardized system catalogs both geomorphic and biological resources at mapping scales of better than 1:10,000. You can "fly the coastline" (video), view still photos, and access biophysical data using an interactive ArcIMS Website.

This ShoreZone database include four regions (Southeast, Aleutians, Prince William Sound, Arctic), and will be increased in succeeding years as new mapping and locations are added.  Also, this data is linked to the Fish Atlas database.
