Cook Inlet and Kenai Peninsula, Alaska ESI: FISH (Fish Polygons)

Description

This data set contains biological resource data for herring spawning areas in Cook Inlet and Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. Vector polygons in this data set represent locations of herring concentration areas. Abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. See also the FISHL (Fish Lines) data layer, part of the larger Cook Inlet and Kenai Peninsula ESI database, for additional fish information.This data set comprises a portion of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Cook Inlet and Kenai Peninsula. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources.
