Habitat Assessment and Marine Chemistry: Coastal Mapping
|
Icy Bay, Prince William Sound. |
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.
