State of Alaska's Salmon and People Regional Boundaries

This dataset depicts the boundaries of the State of Alaska's Salmon and People (SASAP) regions. The SASAP region boundaries were updated in 2017 to better reflect HUC 8 watershed boundaries and to repair gaps, overlaps, and other topological errors. sasap_regions.zip contains this topologically correct rebuild. An additional set of shapefiles, sasap_regions_clipped_to_coast.zip was generated by clipping the regional boundaries to a coastline derived from Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), Office for Coastal Management (OCM). US State Submerged Lands. 2016. https://coast.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/MarineCadastre/USStateSubmergedLands/MapServer. This file is useful for visualization purposes where a high resolution coastline is needed, but may not be suitable for analysis due to topology errors.
