Description: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) shared management responsibilities of the anadromous fisheries of the Alaskan Pacific Coast drainage. While both agencies collected geographic information, they were unable to share this information because BLM and the ADG&G utilized two different geographic information systems, ARC/INFO and MOSS (Map Overlay and Statistical System). In order for the agencies to share information, a conversion methodology had to be developed. Under BLM contract YA-551-CT5-440003, TGS Technology's Computer Mapping Division was able to create the technical and quality control procedures needed to combine the agencies' information into two separate but functionally identical data bases which can be utilized by these agencies.
