Information on the distribution and relative abundance of nearshore fishes in Alaska is now available to managers as an online Fish Atlas. The atlas is dynamic and will continually be updated as more data becomes available. Presently, the atlas includes distribution and habitat use information for nearshore fishes in southeastern Alaska, Prince William Sound, the Aleutian Islands, and the Arctic. This fish atlas database is linked directly to the ShoreZone database. At present, four regions are included (Southeast, Prince William Sound, Aleutians, Arctic); more data will be added annually.
