Table: ALS_ANNUAL_FACTORS_FL

This is a table of factors based upon the best estimates of the port agents that will allow generation of totals by Gear, Watrbody , and Distance From Shore that will be put into the table ALS_GENERAL_CANVASS which contains Florida Annual Data. Barring any further changes to Fl data 1996 and prior, this table may be considered obsolete.

This is a lookup table which runs against Florida non-shrimp data in the ALS.ALS_LANDINGS table. The purpose is to assign gear, waterbody, and distance from shore to the FL monthly data in ALS.ALS_LANDINGS to create the annual table als.als_general_canvass.
