2016 Status of Alaska Marine Ecosystem Considerations Gulf of Alaska
The goal of the Ecosystem Considerations report is to provide stronger links between ecosystem research and fishery management.
This year the report has been split into four separate documents, one for the Gulf of Alaska, Aleutian Islands, eastern Bering Sea, and the Arctic. This new presentation allows for a more cohesive focus on each large marine ecosystem. While this simplifies navigation for the reader, it also better highlights data gaps and research needs within each large marine ecosystem.
