Commercial Salmon Prince William Sound StatisticalAreas

This metadata report applies to the 2018 ADF&G Salmon and Miscellaneous Finfish Statistical Areas. Statistical areas are polygons that divide the waters of the State of Alaska and the adjacent Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) into small units for the purpose of reporting and analyzing fishery harvest. Each statistical area is identified by a unique 5-digit number. Salmon statistical areas can be divided by lines defined in ADF&G regulations, and further subdivided based on prominent landmarks or points of land. All regulatory lines were originally referenced to the NAD83 datum and later projected to the WGS84 datum in this feature class. This GIS version of the salmon statistical areas was last updated in 2025 with the addition of statistical area 212-26. If you need to compare to current statistical areas, you will need to refer to other versions of the salmon statistical areas.
