Alaska DEC Monitoring and Assessment Program (AKMAP) Project Areas

AKMAP surveys report on the status of Alaska's water resources with a known statistical confidence, allowing resource managers, elected officials, and the public to understand the "big picture" of Alaska's water resources. No similar probabilistic sampling surveys are currently providing regional, ecological information on such a large scale within Alaska. The EMAP implementation strategy is DEC's plan to sample and report monitoring data for large regions of Alaska in the near future.
