Published by Office of Response and Restoration | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: December 08, 2025 | Last Modified: 2003-07-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for marine, estuarine, and anadromous fish species in Western Alaska. Vector polygons in this data set represent fish distribution. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set comprises a portion of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Western Alaska. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the FISHL (Fish Lines) data layer, part of the larger Western Alaska ESI database, for additional anadromous fish information.
