Description: The Alaska ShoreZone Mapping Protocol was used to classify the shoreline in terms of biota, morphology, and substrate. The shoreline was subdivided into alongshore units and across-shore components for 1381 km. of shoreline on the outer (i.e. southern) coast of the Kenai Peninsula. Data can be displayed on maps through GIS, and is intented for uses such as oil spill response, delineation of fish habitat, recreational planning, and protected area planning.

The t.p. with title "Mapping marine habitats, Prince William Sound to McCarty Fjord" is erroneous. It is not to be considered the title or part of the final report. The summary on the verso of this sheet is correct.

A set of 9 videocassettes (containing 17 tape recordings) has been issued to accompany this study and is titled: 2002 aerial video imaging survey, outer Kenai coast, Alaska : June 24-28, 2002.

Includes bibliographical reference (p. 12).
