Modeling Fish-Habitat in Southeast Alaska

Due to the remote and rugged landscapes of Southeast Alaska current fish and associated habitat information for some regions is sparse or missing completely. In order for natural resource managers to make well-informed decision for maintaining viable fish populations a complete and accurate coverage of their habitat requirements is needed.

Romey Fisheries and Aquatic Science is using models based on high-resolution remote sensing data to evaluate current fish-habitat conditions for conservation and management objectives, or to identify potential stream and associated riparian restoration sites. Learn more
