Item Identification

Title: ALS.DISTANCE_CODE_ALS - The lookup table for the distance code in the Accumlated Landings System (ALS).
Short Name: DISTANCE_CODE_ALS
Status: In Work
Abstract:

Distance from Shore is a common element in determining fishing area and jurisdiction. Codes indicate range of nautical miles from shore within which fishing occurred.

Purpose:

To provide a lookup for distance from shore coding in the ALS.

Notes:

New codes and descriptions were added 4/9/2013.

Coding in this field is inconsistent.
