Title: 2023 Edition of Essential Fish Habitat Maps for Alaska Fishery Management Plans (Data Range 1964-2019)
Abstract: 2023 Edition of Essential Fish Habitat Maps for Alaska Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) (data range 1982-2019) composed of species distribution model (SDM) maps created through analysis of species survey data and environmental covariates in all oceanographic regions surrounding Alaska. The following maps are included in the 2023 Edition.

Arctic Fishery Management Plan (FMP): SDM maps created through analysis of species survey data and environmental covariates from 2000-2018 for species in the Arctic Management Area.

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab FMP: SDM maps created through analysis of species data from NMFS bottom-trawl surveys and environmental covariates from 1982-2019 for crab species in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab FMP.

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Groundfish FMP: SDM maps created through analysis of species data from NMFS bottom-trawl surveys and environmental covariates from 1982-2019 for groundfish species in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Groundfish FMP.

Gulf of Alaska Groundfish FMP: SDM maps created through analysis of species data from NMFS bottom-trawl surveys and environmental covariates from 1993-2019 for groundfish species in the Gulf of Alaska Groundfish FMP.

Salmon FMP: Replaced the cumulative frequency distribution model maps with the EFH maps created through analysis of surveys using surface trawls, purse seines, and environmental variables from 1964 to 2009 for salmon species in the FMP for Pacific Salmon in the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska.

Scallop FMP (Included/No Update): Survey distribution maps created through analysis of species distributions from surveys using various gear types from 1998-2010 for scallop species in the Scallop FMP, including areas of the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska.
