title: In-situ stream temperature monitoring, Kodiak Island, Alaska

description: Stream temperature is an important parameter to ecology, climate, and hydrology studies in Alaska. Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) has collected hourly stream temperature (C) data on Kodiak Island, Alaska. Sampling occurred in 2016 and 2017, though not all sites were sampled in 2016. This dataset is part of a larger project to collect a comprehensive statewide inventory of current and historic continuous monitoring locations for stream and lake temperatures. These data were provided by ADFG for archival as part of an effort between the State of Alaskan Salmon and People (SASAP, https://alaskasalmonandpeople.org/) and the Alaska Center for Conservation Science's Alaska Online Aquatic Temperature Site (AKOATS, http://accs.uaa.alaska.edu/aquatic-ecology/akoats/) to make stream temperature data more readily available for researchers. This package includes a site level metadata file (SiteLevelMetadata_Kodiak.csv) and 8 stream temperature data files. Data file names are formatted WaterbodyName_AKOATSID_StartDate_EndDate.

title: Summary of Pacific Salmon Escapement Goals in Alaska with a Review of Escapements from 2001 to 2009

description: This dataset is compiled from Tables 1-4 from the report "Summary of Pacific salmon escapement goals in Alaska with a review of escapements from 2001 to 2009.” Escapement is defined as the number of mature salmon migrating from the marine environment to freshwater streams. Escapement data are the enumeration of these migrating fish as they pass upstream, and are a widely used index of spawning salmon abundance. These data are important for fisheries management, since most salmon harvest occurs in freshwater rivers during this migration. As a part of management of these salmon stocks, some Alaskan river systems are assigned escapement goals, which generally represent the number of salmon that need to be given the opportunity to spawn to ensure survival of the stock. Generally there are three common types of escapement goals. Biological Escapement Goals (BEGs) are defined in Alaska fishery regulations 5 AAC 39.222(f) as "the escapement that provides the greatest potential for maximum sustained yield." Sustainable Escapement Goals (SEGs) are defined in the same section as "a level of escapement, indicated by an index or an escapement estimate, that is known to provide for sustained yield over a 5 to 10 year period, used in situations where a BEG cannot be estimated or managed for." Optimal Escapement Goals (OEGs) are defined as "a specific management objective for salmon escapement that considers biological and allocative factors and may differ from the SEG or BEG."

title: Harvest of Salmon across Commercial, Subsistence, Personal Use, and Sport Fish sectors, Alaska, 1995-2016

description: This data represents harvest of salmon in Alaska across the commercial, subsistence, personal use, and sport fish sectors. Each of these harvest sectors has a distinct permitting system governed by different departments within the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG). Commercial harvest is regulated under the Commercial Entry Fishery Commission (CFEC), and refers to the harvest of fish for the purposes of selling them to another party. Subsistence harvest is regulated under the ADFG Subsistence Division, and refers to the harvest of fish for customary and traditional use. Whether use of a stock of fish is considered a "customary and traditional" use is determined by several factors, including length and consistency of use, seasonality, methods and means of harvest, geographic areas, means of handling, preparing, preserving, and storing, intergenerational transmission of knowledge and skills, distribution and exchange, and diversity of resources in an area. Personal use harvest is also governed by the ADFG Subsistence Division. The personal use fishery was created in response to the enactment of the state's subsistence priority law, which precluded some individuals from participating in customary and traditional subsistence fisheries because the stocks they fish are not classified as customary and traditional use stocks. Because the gear associated with the personal use fishery is distinct from the gear typically associated with the sport fishery, the personal use fishery was kept distinct from the sport fishery to prevent confusion amongst the public. More information on the personal use fishery can be found in the Alaska state regulations, Chapter 77 "Personal Use Fishery, Article 1” (5 AAC 77.001). Sport fish harvest is regulated under the ADFG Division of Sport Fish, and refers to the taking of or attempting to take for personal consumption, and not for sale or barter, a fish by hook and line either held in the hand or closely attended. These data are derived from four source datasets: Subsistence and Personal Use Harvest - https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/#view/urn:uuid:7e4586c0-9812-4355-8f3b-1445b9a8ca53 Commercial Harvest (CFEC) - https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/#view/urn:uuid:40473bde-9774-4581-aafb-5d2c3b4a70d1 Commercial Harvest(ADFG Annual Management Reports) - https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/#view/urn:uuid:31b421f3-c48c-473a-bc20-601c738b3a3c Sportfish Harvest - https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/#view/urn:uuid:6a6a530f-3660-424f-adab-c771d1c89a5d) The included .Rmd file sources files from these datasets, aggregates over regions to obtain total harvest by species and region, and merges data from all of the sectors into a single file (Harvest_All_Sectors.csv). The .Rmd file also creates basic plots of harvest by sector by region.

title: Alaskan commercial salmon fishing statistical areas, 2017

description: Participants in Alaska commercial fisheries are required to report the statistical area where their harvest occurs. In combination with reports on the harvest species, poundage and etc., these data are useful to analyze and visualize spatial patterns in harvest. This data set defines the current valid statistical areas that may be used on ADF&G fish tickets for salmon and miscellaneous finfish. This data set should NOT be used for navigation or for determining compliance with ADF&G Commercial Fishing Regulations. Please consult the ADF&G Commercial Fisheries Regulations for the official definitions of regulatory boundaries. NOTE: These data attempt to depict statistical area boundaries as used for management during a specific time period. In some cases, statistical area boundaries used in practice may differ from those described in regulations, reports, maps, and other aids. Up to date published layers and historical areas can be found on Commercial Fishing GIS Data Downloads section on the ADF&G website (http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=maps.commercial_fishing_gis). This project received funding under award NA15NMF4270272 from NOAA Fisheries Service, in cooperation with the Saltonstall-Kennedy Grant Program.

title: Delta Wide Crevasses (MR-09): 2001, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2016 land water classifications

description: The Louisiana State Legislature created Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to arresting coastal wetlands loss. This data set includes mosaicked aerial photographs for the Delta Wide Crevasses (MR-09) project for 2001, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2016. This data is used as a basemap land-water classification. It also serves as a visual tool for project managers to help them identify any obvious problems or land loss within their project boundary. To better evaluate the effectiveness of restoration efforts, a land-water classification is performed on specific CWPPRA sites to help assess landscape changes.

title: In-situ stream temperature monitoring, Southwest Alaska, 2013-2017.

description: This dataset includes data on stream temperature collected in 15-minute intervals over multiple years for multiple sites across Southwest Alaska. Some stream temperature monitoring sites are ongoing. Sampling occurred either between 2013 and 2017 or between 2015 and 2017, depending on the location. The data is part of a larger project to collect a comprehensive statewide inventory of current and historic continuous monitoring locations for stream and lake temperatures. The data was provided by the UAA Alaska Center for Conservation Science for archival as part of an effort between the State of Alaska's Salmon and People Project (SASAP, https://alaskasalmonandpeople.org/) and the Alaska Center for Conservation Science's Alaska Online Aquatic Temperature Site (AKOATS, http://accs.uaa.alaska.edu/aquatic-ecology/akoats/) to make stream temperature data more readily available for researchers.

title: Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Permit Earnings, 1975-2016

description: The Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission (CFEC) is an independent, autonomous agency of the State of Alaska which regulates entry into Alaska's commercial fisheries. The CFEC is committed to promoting conservation and sustained-yield management of Alaska's unique fishery resources and boosting economic stability among fishermen and their dependents. The CFEC is responsible for leasing all commercial fishing permits, including permits for limited-entry fisheries. Limited-entry fisheries include all state salmon fisheries, most herring fisheries, and various other fisheries. Annual permit earnings from 1975-2016 have been aggregated by community of residence of the permit holder. The data also includes the number of fish caught by species, the number of people utilizing permits, the number of permits issued, the number of fish processors used, and the number of vessels used. If there are fewer than 3 of either permits, vessels, or processors for any row, that row is confidential. For data prior to 1984, there is not sufficient processor data to include a processor count, so the coding defaults to if there are at less than 3 people/permits, then the data are confidential. The data included in this package have been modified slightly from what was provided by CFEC by replacing internal clade codes with more readily understandable species names.

title: Commercial salmon harvest data, 1882-2016

description: Commercial harvest data of salmon are available from the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, however, depending on the resolution of these data, some years in some fisheries are confidential to protect the identity of the fishers and processors working in that fishery. In some cases, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) is granted a waiver by those fishers and processors to published annual data at the commercial fishing area level in annual reports. In an effort to analyze whether trends in confidentiality levels would skew commercial harvest data sourced directly from the CFEC, commercial harvest data were compiled from reports for all regions of Alaska except Prince William Sound, Southeast, and the Arctic. The data was taken from annual salmon fishery management reports, provided by the Alaska Department of Fish & Game, Division of Sport Fish and Commercial Fisheries (http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/sf/publications/). The data from Prince William Sound and Southeast Alaska were not included because the amount of fishers and processors in these regions rarely result in confidential data; the Arctic region was not included due to the lack of commercial fisheries. This dataset includes the original reports as pdf files, the data extracted from the reports, an R markdown file that reformats and compiles the extracted data (CommercialHarvest_Reports.Rmd), and the reformatted data (Commercial_Harvest_Reports.csv). Commercial salmon harvests were categorized in numbers of each fish species by year. In the reformatted dataset, areas were combined and renamed to corresponding SASAP regions, and some data removed to ensure that combined areas had consistent temporal coverage.

title: Federally recognized Alaskan tribes and village locations

description: There are 229 federally recognized tribes in the state of Alaska. These tribes are eligible for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The list of federally recognized tribes in Alaska was obtained from the National Conference of State Legislature (http://www.ncsl.org/research/state-tribal-institute/list-of-federal-and-state-recognized-tribes.aspx). Locations were assigned based on the village name, and were geolocated using the United States Geological Survey places dataset. The output data file (federally_recognized_tribes_geolocated.csv) includes the name, city, region, and coordinates associated with each federally recognized tribe in Alaska. The package also includes the .Rmd file (tribes_geolocating.Rmd) detailing the processing steps and the rendered .html file (tribes_geolocating.html), which includes a datatable and interactive map.

title: Age demographics of salmon permit holders in the Alaskan Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, 1976-2016

description: The Commercial Fisheries Entry Commision (CFEC) is an independent, autonomous agency of the State of Alaska which regulates entry into Alaska's commercial fisheries. The CFEC is committed to promoting conservation and sustained-yield management of Alaska's unique fishery resources and boosting economic stability among fishermen and their dependents. To ensure effective management of commercial fisheries, all vessels used for commercial fishing or related activities must be licensed by the CFEC. This includes fishing vessels, tenders, packers, processors, transporter vessels, and seine skiffs. The CFEC is responsible for leasing all commercial fishing permits including permits for limited-entry fisheries. Limited-entry fisheries include all state salmon fisheries, most herring fisheries, and various other fisheries. This dataset includes age demographics, broken out into decades, of all salmon permit holders between 1975 and 2016. The source of this permit information is permit application and renewal forms collected by CFEC.

title: Commercial salmon harvest data: gross earnings and number of fish, Alaska, 1975-2016

description: This dataset contains annual commercial salmon harvest information from fisheries in Alaska from 1975-2016, provided by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). Included are the number of fish caught by salmon species, the number of people and permits issued, and the number of fish processors used, and vessels used. Three files are included with differing geographic resolutions, which from coarse to fine consist of spatial resolutions: commercial fishing area, commercial fishing district, and commercial fishing subdistrict. All files are annual with the exception of one, which organizes harvest data by statistical week. This time scale facilitates aggregated catch comparisons between years. Note that some rows within each file are marked as confidential when the number of either permits, people, or processors is under 3. Finer spatial or temporal resolution datasets result in more confidential rows. These data are provided to facilitate understanding of commercial harvest of salmon in Alaska, and how this harvest changes both over time and space. Data shown here were modified slightly from what was provided by (ADF&G) by replacing internal species and gear codes with more readily understandable species names and gear descriptions.

title: Mean daily streamflow discharge at sites in Alaska, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)

description: These files include mean daily streamflow discharge (cubic feet per second) at streamflow gauging stations across Alaska. Data were collected by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) from the National Water Information Service (NWIS). Information is provided for 80 stations throughout Alaska, all which have associated streamflow discharge data. Information on the station site, data description, and general metadata are included in the metadata attribute set. Each streamflow gauging station is identified by an 8-digit number and each station has a separate data file identified by the site number (site_no). Additional information on gauging stations including site name, lat/long, are included in the site_info.csv file. All streamflow information was collected from USGS streamflow gauging systems. These systems record the elevation of the water in the stream and then convert the water elevation (i.e. stage (ft)) to streamflow (i.e. discharge (ft^3)), using an established curve relationship that relates stage and discharge. The stream river stage is measured to the closest 0.01 inches, by using floats inside a stilling well, by the use of pressure transducers that measure how much pressure is required to a push a gas bubble through a tube (related to the depth of water), or with radar. Most USGS streamgauges record the stage level every 15 minutes, and that data are stored in an electronic data recorder, which is then transfered to USGS. The data was downloaded from USGS via the USGS R package ‘dataRetrieval’. Included in this data package is the R script, ‘USGS_Streamflow_Data_Download.R’, that was used to download this data. This package can be used to download similar data from the USGS data repository.

title: Commercial fishery seafood products information from Alaska Commercial Operator's Annual Reports (COAR), 1984 to 2017

description: Three datasets from the Alaska Commercial Operator's Annual Reports (COAR) are included: 1) annual wholesale production, both weight and value for fish and shellfish products from 1984-2016, 2) average wholesale price per pound for processed salmon products from 2000-2016, and 3) statewide salmon wholesale value and pounds processed from 1984-2017. With these COAR datasets, all commercial products that are caught, bought, sold, and processed are required to be submitted annually. Within the COAR reports, information including the species, area of purchase (based on the statistical regions from the Alaska Department of Fish and Wildlife (ADF&G), pounds and value, process type (e.g. frozen, fresh) and production information (e.g. fillets, smoked) are reported. All prices and weights are based off the first wholesale value.

title: Alaska Local and Regional Information (ALARI) data on Alaska's workforce: characteristics, tax revenue, and industries

description: These three datasets are a consolidated version of the many found on http://live.laborstats.alaska.gov/alari/. Data were initially collected by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Research and Analysis Section and stored on the Alaska Local and Regional Information (ALARI) site. In this archived version, a web scrape was performed from the ALARI site with the help of R's 'rvest' package. The .html code on the ALARI site was inspected and certain codes were targeted to generate correct web URLs for each location's data on worker characteristics, tax revenue, and industries. The data were then copied from the contents of these URLs and stored into three separate datasets; one each for worker characteristics, tax revenue, and industries. The purpose of this project is to compile all separate records for each unique documented location within Alaska into one dataset. Three records for Alaskan locations were of interest: tax revenue, industry information, and worker characteristics. In all, the three datasets are intended for inference into the nature of the Alaskan labor force from 2001 to 2016.

title: Alaska Board of Fisheries Meetings

description: The Alaska Board of Fisheries (BOF) provides a local forum for regional opinions on fish and game issues, facilitates resource allocation, and makes regulatory changes. The BOF holds a variety of meetings each year. This dataset includes information about the dates, locations, and meeting descriptions for BOF meetings that occurred or are slated to occur between 2000 and 2019. The original source of these data is the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Original data dating back to 2003 were extracted from here: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fisheriesboard.meetinginfo. Glenn Haight, BOF Executive Director, provided information about meetings from years prior to 2003. This dataset was modified by separating the start and end dates from the original "Dates" column into two separate columns.

title: Compiled age, sex, and length data for Alaskan salmon, 1922-2017

description: Age, sex and length (ASL) data provide population dynamics information that can indicate how population trends occur and may be changing. These data can help researchers estimate population growth rates, age-class distribution, and population demographics. Knowing population demographics, growth rates and trends is particularly valuable to fisheries managers who must perform population assessments to inform management decisions. These data are therefore important in valuable fisheries like the salmon fisheries of Alaska. This dataset includes age, sex and length data compiled from annual sampling of commercial and subsistence salmon harvests and research projects throughout Alaska from 1922-2017. It includes data on five salmon species: chinook, chum, coho, pink and sockeye. Age estimates were made by examining scales or bony structures (e.g. otoliths - ear bones). Scales were removed from the side of the fish; usually the left side above the lateral line. Scales or bony structures were then mounted on gummed cards and pressed on acetate to make an impression. The number of freshwater and saltwater annuli (i.e. rings) was counted to estimate freshwater and saltwater ages in years. Fish sex was determined by either examining external morphology (eg. head and belly shape) or internal sex organ. Length was measured in millimeters, generally from mid-eye to the fork of the tail. This data package includes a .csv of ASL data (ASL_master.csv) and .csv files defining project types (ASLProjectType.csv), gear types (gear.csv), length measurement types (length_type_lookup.csv), and locations (Locations_subdistricts_uniqueID.csv). The R Markdown file (ASL_processing.Rmd) details the data processing steps for the ASL data.
